摘要

Abstract

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) have a wide range of applications in optics and photonics

thanks to their capability to perform complex wavefront shaping in a compact form. However

widespread applicability of DOEs is still limited

because existing fabrication methods are cumbersome and expensive. Here

we present a simple and cost-effective fabrication approach for solid

high-performance DOEs. The method is based on conjugating two nearly refractive index-matched solidifiable transparent materials. The index matching allows for extreme scaling up of the elements in the axial dimension

which enables simple fabrication of a template using commercially available 3D printing at tens-of-micrometer resolution. We demonstrated the approach by fabricating and using DOEs serving as microlens arrays

vortex plates

including for highly sensitive applications such as vector beam generation and super-resolution microscopy using MINSTED

and phase-masks for three-dimensional single-molecule localization microscopy. Beyond the advantage of making DOEs widely accessible by drastically simplifying their production

the method also overcomes difficulties faced by existing methods in fabricating highly complex elements

such as high-order vortex plates

and spectrum-encoding phase masks for microscopy.
