    Abstract: In the formation of a blazed diffraction grating by a holographic process, a laser beam (a) is split into two collimated light beams (b and c) having an increased beam radius, and these beams are reflected onto a substrate (121) coated with a photoresist (122). A photomask (123) having a transparent area (125, 126) is placed on the photoresist (122) at a location corresponding to the desired location of the diffraction grating, and one of the beams is passed through an intermediate mask (118) having a narrow opening (119) to limit the light flux of that beam. A first exposure is made wherein both of the beams are incident on the photoresist (122) through air, thereby to form interference fringes having a clearance width of d. A second exposure is then made wherein the beams are irradiated on the photoresist (122) through a symmetrical transparent member (209, Figure 21) having an isoceles triangular cross-section, thereby producing interference fringes having a clearance width of d/2. The ratio between the exposure energies in the first and second exposures is made equal to the ratio between the first and second terms of a Fourier series obtained by expanding the periodical function of the waveform of the blazed diffraction grating. This method is used to form an optical branching filter element which comprises a substrate (301) and a waveguide (3021 provided on the substrate and made of a material which is cacable of reversibly changing its refractive index on application of light. A diffraction grating (307) is formed in the waveguide (302) by the above-described method, which can be erased by the application of infrared light, electric current or heat.

    Abstract: A surface pattern (10) has two surface portions (11; 12) with microscopically fine, light-diffracting relief structures. The relief structures are in the form of grating structures GS1 or GS2, respectively, which are composed of at least two superimposed gratings G1 and G2, G3 and G4, respectively. The light-diffracting properties of the gratings G1 to G4 are so selected in accordance with various criteria that novel optical effects which cannot be holographically copied can be achieved with the grating structures GS1 and GS2. Such surface patterns are suitable as optical security elements for documents or articles of all kinds as well as packaging foils.

    Abstract: A light control material generally comprising a transparent substrate (113) for carrying a print or photographic image and a plurality of focusing elements (114) which provide a field of view over which the brightness of the print or photographic image is enhanced. The field of view is controlled by the geometry of the focusing elements (142) including radius, width, and degree of symmetry. By providing a field of view (112) over which the brightness of the image is enhanced, the image may be viewed at angles which avoid the angles of specular reflection, which are usually seen as unwanted glare. Furthermore, selected portions of an image may be brightness enhanced more than others or selected portions may be brightness enhanced while others are not.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a diffractive display suitable for presenting graphic and the like displays. Broadly, the novel display is realized from a diffraction pattern (132) carried by (e.g. embossed) a film or element (138) connected to an energy source which is energizable for movement of the film (138). Movement of the patterned film (138) generates a display using the diffracted light from the embossed pattern (132). Electroactive films are known in the art, including, for example, piezoelectric films, electrostrictive films, electromotive films, and electrostatic films. Magnetoactive films also are known in the art. Any of these films (138) can carry the diffraction pattern (132) and be energized for movement to generate from the resulting diffracted light.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for splitting, scanning and receiving a beam of light is disclosed. Binary optic array components are used to split, in an angular manner, an input beam into multiple beams, travelling in different directions. Miniaturized array element BOCs arranged in ''n'' different groups are used, wherein n is dependent upon the number of split beams needed or desired. An offset is introduced between the optical axis of each of the corresponding pair of miniaturized BOCs. By varying the offset over time, the resultant beam(s) can be scanned in one, two or three dimensions. Piezo-electric drivers controlled by a processor may be used to move the array in order to vary the offset. The device may also include a collection area to collect the returned scanned beams by using an array of optic components integrated with the scanner. The collected beams are then focused onto detectors.

    Abstract: An intraocular lens including a refractive/diffractive lens having an anterior surface and a posterior surface and a generally anterior posterior optical axis. At least one of the surfaces has a diffractive lens profile that is binary in phase, and produces three useful focal points. The diffractive lens profile is designed to provide three foci each containing 28.8 % of the incident light, with the residual 14 % of the light going into other foci. Additionally, some of the out-of-focus light of this design contributes positively to the image, and the resultant maximum image contrast is above 28.8 %. This design adds clear mid-range vision, at the expense of a slight decrease in near and far vision, and the added mid-range vision makes the device less sensitive to longitudinal placement in the eye.

    Abstract: A lens (10) composed of a single material and having at least one refractive surface (14) on one face and a kinoform (20) on the other face (16). The pure refraction between the surfaces varies dimensionally and in refractive index in response to temperature changes and thereby changes characteristics, such as the back focal length, of the lens while the kinoform varies differently in response to the same temperature changes. The kinoform power is sufficient to vary the temperature induced characteristic changes of the lens in an opposing sense at a given wavelength and in an amount sufficient to athermalize the optical device. In one embodiment the kinoform power compensates for the combined temperature-induced effects upon the refractive portion and any mount that supports the lens.

    Abstract: An optical fibre (2) is fixed between a clamp (6) and a piezo-electric translation stage (10). An argon ion laser (12) emitting at 514.5 nm is used to write Bragg gratings in the fibre (2). A different longitudinal stress is applied to the fibre (2) before optically writing each Bragg grating. The fibre (2) when unstressed will have a Bragg grating of different peak reflectivity corresponding to the number of different applied stresses.
