Abstract

We examine the diffraction properties of one- and two-dimensional binary-phase gratings encoded onto pixelated liquid crystal displays (LCDs). We find that the first-order diffracted intensity from these binary-phase patterns can reach 100% of the zero-order intensity when the period of the grating approaches the Nyquist limit of the LCD. Experimental results show excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. This is a surprising result that has a number of implications for the encoding of diffractive optical elements.
