CGH 2008 Instructors and Students
2008 CGH/DOE Workshop Monday, March 17 - Friday, March 21
Topics Covered: CGH/DOE basics, zone-plate theory, MLT description and sensitivities, OPTISCAN software for designing simple zone plates, RCWT analysis of diffraction efficiency for binary amplitude, binary phase and blazed gratings, advanced design and analysis of DOEs, propagation, classifying CGHs, encoding, display holograms, design and analyze three types of display CGHs using OPTISCAN, DOEs for optical testing applications, design and analyze a DOE for testing using OPTISCAN.
New This Year: A day-long optional pre-session covering the basics of Matlab, Zemax and Optiscan for beginners and a day-long optional post-session covering advanced topics, design, and an optional laboratory.
Labs Included: D esign, fabricate and test binary phase zone plate, design, fabricate and test a custom display hologram, fabricate and use a DOE for optical testing, and advanced testing application using a DOE.
Student Reviews: "It was a great experience. I rate it excellent. "The labs were very well planned and provided an opportunity to apply what we learned. "I cannot express how well this fully exceeded my expectations."

From the early work of Lohmann to the present day, applications such as multi-spectral dispersers, chromatic compensators, aspheric testing, optical beam shaping and transformation, security marks, multiplexed optical detectors and laser pointers have used computer-generated holograms (CGHs) to perform otherwise difficult or impossible tasks.
Co-sponsored by SPIE and Optical Sciences, the March 2008 CGH/DOE Workshop focused on providing participants with a hands-on learning opportunity for the design and fabrication of CGHs and DOEs using the Maskless Lithography Tool.
The workshop was geared towards working professionals: scientists, engineers, managers, and researchers. Although enrollment was limited, the workshop attracted a national and international group of participants from industry and academia.
