Synopsis:

The lecture covers the basics of the diffractive optics. It discusses the scalar theory of diffraction and thoroughly analyses the approaches of Fresnel, Kirchhoff, Sommerfeld, and others. The rigorous theory of diffraction is also briefly mentioned. The second part of the lecture is devoted to the optical diffractive structures, thin and volume diffraction gratings, and synthetic diffractive structures. Various approaches to the analysis and synthesis of the diffractive elements are discussed. The last part is devoted to the optical holography, holographic techniques, recording materials, and various applications of holograms.
