Abstract

With the rapid development of modern optics and optoelectronic technology, optoelectronic components have also changed greatly. Optical elements are not only limited in refractive lenses, prisms, and mirrors. New optical components such as micro-lens arrays, holographic lenses, and diffractive elements are also used in various optoelectronic devices, so that optoelectronic devices and their components are smaller, in flat array and feasible integration. Micro-optics is a new subject formed by the interpenetration of optical, microelectronic, and micro-mechanical technologies. Binary optics is an important branch of micro-optics, and the two main branches of micro-optics are: (1) graded refractive index optics based on the refraction principle and (2) binary optics based on the diffraction principle.
