Abstract
A versatile, rapidly convergent, iterative algorithm is presented for the
construction of kinoform phase plates for tailoring the far-field intensity
distribution of laser beams. The method consists of repeated Fourier
transforming between the near-field and the far-field planes with constraints
imposed in each plane. For application to inertial confinement fusion, the
converged far-field pattern contains more than 95% of the incident
energy inside a desired region and is relatively insensitive to beam
aberrations.
