Abstract:
We proposed a method for calculating the diffractive beam splitter to design the distribution of diffractive orders within a given elliptic region. We demonstrated experimentally the operability of calculated optical element.

Key words:
beam splitter, an optical antenna, diffractive optical element, diffraction orders, directivity diagram, a set of rays, binary microrelief.
