High order kinoforms as a broadband achromatic diffractive optics for terahertz beams

Opt Express. 2014 Feb 10;22(3):3137-44. doi: 10.1364/OE.22.003137.

Abstract

We discuss thin optical structures that allow chromatic aberrations to be avoided in the THz domain. The paper contains the theoretical considerations, computer modeling and experimental evaluation of the high order kinoform diffractive elements in the THz range. According to the obtained results application of the high order kinoforms enables broadband operation in the THz range.
