AbstractAn overview of diffractive optics is presented. Various types of diffractive optical elements, principles of their functioning, properties, applications, and fabrication methods are briefly described, starting from the fundamental concepts and definitions. The major advantages and limits of different sorts of elements are mentioned. An important part of this article is devoted to diffractive lenses and recent improvements of their performances.
