Simulating a binary DOE lens diffractive optical element

Question

How do you simulate a binary diffractive optical element (DOE) in OSLO?

Synopsis

Simulating a binary DOE lens diffractive optical element

Solution

Yes. OSLO's CGH surface option calculates the direction of rays from the grating groove spacing. The binary construction order and zone depth are used to calculate the diffraction efficiency using extended scalar theory.
