Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are an important component of optical
systems for optical communications, biological sensors, imaging systems, data storage
systems, optical computing systems, and optical tweezers. [1,2] Also DOEs are used
for creating structured light. Traditionally, DOEs are manufactured using lithography
techniques. Unlike lithography, more flexible patterns and cheaper patterns can be
produced with the help of the Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) technique. Also, AJP can be
produced using gold, silver, and copper ink for different purposes. It can be produced
as a passive element with a suitable pattern instead of SLM, which is an active element
that provides fast and precise production. This study produced different patterns such
as rectangles, isosceles triangles, right triangles, and Laguerre-gauss patterns using
the AJP technique for the first time. Additionally, we are testing the quality of our DOEs
with the help of atomic force microscopy [1], optical microscopy, and optical setup with
MATLAB. We also verify the accuracy of the patterns we produce with MATLAB
simulation.
The presentation will give information about the design, testing, and production
processes of the DOEs we produce with AJP.
