Optical Waveguide Lenses. I.

Abstract

The results of an effort to develop thin-film waveguide optical elements for implementation of the Fourier transform as may be employed for a real-time RF spectral analyzer is delineated herein. Various types of simple refractors and reflectors for folding are considered in conjunction with a beam expansion telescope and a telephoto lens system. The dispersion properties of multi-layer thin-film dielectric waveguides are considered for use in the implementation of homogeneous and inhomogeneous refractors, reflectors and geodesic lens systems.
