The possibility of obtaining diffractive optics of a high diffraction order in the form of linear and circular elements in layers of chalcogenide glassy materials is shown. The conditions for obtaining layers by means of automated thermal deposition of them in high vacuum have been improved, which made it possible to double the amplitude of photostructural changes in the refractive index. The maximum diffraction efficiency of the second order of diffraction for linear gratings is obtained. The prospect of manufacturing zone plates with a maximum efficiency of up to 30 orders of magnitude of diffraction is shown.

Controlling the propagation of optical fields in three dimensions using arrays of discrete dielectric scatterers is an active area of research. These arrays can create optical elements with functionalities unrealizable in conventional optics. Here, we present an inverse design method based on the inverse Mie scattering problem for producing three-dimensional optical field patterns. Using this method, we demonstrate a device that focuses 1.55-μm light into a depth-variant discrete helical pattern. The reported device is fabricated using two-photon lithography and has a footprint of 144 μm by 144 μm, the largest of any inverse-designed photonic structure to date. This inverse design method constitutes an important step toward designer free-space optics, where unique optical elements are produced for user-specified functionalities.

Achromatization of a three-component diffraction system consisting of one thick and two thin hologram optical elements is considered in the work. Analytical expressions are obtained for correcting the chromatic aberration of the position of a thick focusing hologram optical element by two scattering thin hologram optical elements in a given spectrum range. It is shown that achromatization is achieved for such a three-component system using two thin hologram elements located symmetrically on both sides of the thick element and having a value of the working diffraction order greater than the ratio of the focal length to the distance from the thin element to the image plane (at a given wavelength). The proposed three-component holographic system can be used to convert both an imaginary image into a real image and a real into an imaginary image in predetermined spectral regions of the visible, ultraviolet or infrared ranges of the spectrum.
