LInear diffusers based on Microlens Arrays (LIMA)

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Modern fabrication technology offers high flexibility to realize arbitrary shaped optical structures for the use with compact laser sources. A strong need for such elements has been expressed by industry for high-growth end markets, such as smart phones, tablets and gaming. In the focus of the project is the wave optics simulation of micro-optical elements with dimensions of µm up to mm, a domain where existing programs often fail. Of particular interest is the pre-design phase, where the experience is missing and rigorous diffraction theory cannot be applied.
