Abstract
Diffractive waveplate technology presents an opportunity for designing arrays of all types of optical components. We present here different architectures of arrays of waveplate lenses and vector vortex waveplates. Due to the continuous nature of diffractive waveplate coatings and the high spatial resolution of the technology, the sizes of array elements can span from micrometers to tens of millimeters. Both fixed and electrically switchable arrays are discussed. Arrays of diffractive waveplates present new challenges and opportunities for digital light polarization holography for applications in polarizer-free displays, smart windows, optical communications, beam shaping, and other photonics technologies.
