Abstract:
The paper discusses the experimental results of the generation and analysis of light beams matched with the Gauss-Hermite modes based on the use of phase diffractive optical elements (DOEs). Binary and 16-gradation DOEs were produced by the method of electron lithography on the basis of phase masks designed by the partial coding method.

Keywords:
Gauss-Hermite mode, DOE, diffractive optical element, light beam, electron lithography, coding method.
