Abstract
In contrast to conventional optical fabrication techniques, a single-point laser pattern generator (LPG) provides a flexible, deterministic method of manufacturing optical components with a microrelief pattern. The generated elements function by diffraction and interference effects resulting from light striking a micro-structured surface. The structured or diffractive surfaces can be designed with commercially available lens design software.
