Abstract

When utilizing the Gerchberg–Saxton (GS) algorithm to design diffractive optical elements, correction coefficients are introduced to improve the quality of the design results. The main design idea is to correct the target information dynamically during the iterative calculation process. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through the verification of beam shaping and phase-type hologram designs. Compared to the traditional GS algorithm, the results of beam shaping show that the light intensity nonuniformity and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the shaped spot are reduced by an order of magnitude. The results of phase-type holograms show that the reconstructed image’s peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is improved by about 12 dB. Finally, the paper also discusses the selection of correction coefficients, providing insights into the selection of optimal design correction coefficients. The simulation and experimental results show that the improved algorithm proposed in this paper is not only simple in design but also highly efficient in obtaining a high-quality phase structure, which is of great help in designing high-quality diffractive optical elements.
