Abstract
Distributions of wave fields in three-dimensional domains are analyzed, synthesized, and generated experimentally. Fundamental limits are discussed and sampling conditions are derived for their generation, with use of a single diffractive element. A general design procedure, based on optimization algorithms, is developed and implemented. Experimental results show that special three-dimensional light distributions can be achieved with low-information-content elements in on-axis configurations.
