From: Highly efficient multicolor multifocus microscopy by optimal design of diffraction binary gratings
Simulation results for generating different diffraction orders distribution. From (a) to (h) are shown consecutively the optimization results for generating 9, 5, 5, 3, 25, 16, 7 and 4 equal intensity diffraction orders. For each case, the efficiency and uniformity are plotted against the phase shift difference. The best performing grating is presented, followed by the resulting diffraction orders distribution. The best designs were obtained for phase shifts different than π in (a–d) cases, while for (e–h) π phase shift resulted with the best performance.
