Definition: CGH phase plates are computer-generated holographic phase diffractive elements, high-precision phase DOEs. Algorithms calculate target phase distributions; micro/nano etching forms continuous/binary relief on optical substrates, modulating only phase with almost no obscuration. Diffraction generates target wavefronts for surface testing. Parameters: 1. Design wavelength: UV/visible/NIR-to-far-IR, 193nm~10.6μm. 2. Phase-step levels NN=2 for binary CGH, mainstream interferometry; N=4/8/16/32 for efficient multilevel designs. 3. Clear aperture: hologram diameter. 4. Target compensation wavefront: ideal diffraction wavefronts for rotational/off-axis aspheres or freeforms. Principle: 1. Simulation discretely computes local retardance from target beam/surface wavefront functions and converts it to etch depths. 2. Parallel monochromatic light traverses relief-induced path differences, receiving spatial phase encoding. 3. Coherent diffraction reconstructs complex preset wavefronts, including asphere-matched waves, Bessel/top-hat beams, or point-focus arrays. 4. For null testing, CGH transforms standard spherical interferometer waves to match aspheres/freeforms; reflected return light forms a null interference field for nanometer surface-error measurement. Processing/customization: an early domestic optics company with over twenty years' experience, professional teams, and mature engineering uses its own micro/nano lithography platform to independently manufacture CGH plates. Phase distributions/levels and target patterns are customizable, with stable micrometer precision, accurate reconstruction, good diffraction efficiency, and energy utilization. Fused silica, silicon, germanium, and zinc selenide cover UV-to-far-IR with custom AR coatings, damage resistance, and high-/low-temperature stability. Full in-house simulation, custom structures, mass production, and inspection support small research or large industrial orders, with shorter delivery/faster commissioning than imports. One-stop beam shaping, reconstruction, and complex-field control make them a domestic micro-optics option. Uses include wavefront testing, laser shaping, holographic control, processing, particle manipulation, metrology, and simulation. Accurate phase profiles/environmental stability have earned customer recognition. Image caption: CGH phase-plate product photograph.

Applications

Optical testing: high-precision surface testing of aspheres, freeform surfaces, and off-axis mirrors. Principle: a standard spherical wave from an interferometer is diffracted by the CGH into the ideal aspheric test wavefront. After illuminating the test mirror, it retraces its path, carrying surface errors back through the CGH and becoming a spherical wave that interferes with the reference. Surface errors are calculated from the interferogram. Advantages: compared with refractive null correctors, it compensates arbitrary freeform surfaces without machining expensive physical aspheres and can integrate alignment-mark and test regions. Limitation: strictly monochromatic operation; deviations from the design wavelength introduce wavefront errors. Laser beam control: a static physical DOE. (1) Converts Gaussian light to a flat-top spot for laser processing and lithographic illumination. (2) Generates Bessel, Airy, and vortex beams. (3) Produces multifocus arrays, point-array optical traps, and optical lattices.

Key Features

Wavefront customization without geometric restrictions: algorithms generate arbitrarily complex phase distributions without the spherical or aspheric machining constraints of conventional lenses, accommodating freeform, off-axis aspheric, and other special optical testing. High optical utilization in phase modulation: a pure-phase relief structure has no light-blocking layer or energy loss, with diffraction efficiency far above amplitude CGHs, enabling stable use in weak-light testing and low-power laser equipment. Extremely high surface testing precision: interferometer null compensation controls surface measurement errors at the nanometer scale, making it a standard core component for aerospace, precision optics, and infrared lens quality inspection. Multiple functions in one element: a single CGH simultaneously performs beam shaping, multifocus splitting, wavefront compensation, and other functions, simplifying optical paths, reducing lens count, and lowering assembly and material costs.
