Diffractive elements for imaging optics of mobile communication devices

Abstract

An estimate of the permissible width of the working spectral range of optical systems with diffractive elements is given. It takes into account the interval of the angles of incidence of the radiation on the microstructure of the element and it proceeds from the requirement that there is no halo in the image that is visualized by the LCD monitor. It is shown that the design parameters of diffractive elements intended for mobile device cameras are quite achievable for today's technologies of mass production of plastic optics.
