SINAM Nano-Seminar Announced

Optical Field Synthesis and Analysis Using Diffractive Optics

Prof. Byoungho Lee - School of EE, Seoul National University, Korea

Friday, January 26, 2007
3:00 - 4:00 PM
1165 Etcheverry Hall, UC Berkeley
Pre-seminar coffee and snacks at 2:45 PM

ABSTRACT

This talk will consist of two parts – optical field synthesis and analysis.

Regarding the optical field synthesis, Prof. Lee eill discuss the design methodology of diffractive optical elements, especially to generate three-dimensional optical fields or intensity profiles. Genetic feedback tuning loop will also be explained, which can enable dynamic optical pattern generation compensating aberrations of optical systems and optimizing dynamic spatial light modulator responses.

Regarding the optical field analysis, Prof. Lee will discuss pseudo-Fourier modal analysis (PFMA) to simulate nano photonic structures. The use of PFMA and rigorous coupled mode analysis (RCWA) with parallel computing will be discussed and several simulation examples will be shown such as beaming of laser using surface plasmon resonance and near-field holography.
