Abstract :
Diffractive optical elements that can be used to manipulate the amplitude, phase, and polarization of a wavefront in very complex ways are treated. Optical components whose feature size is larger than one wavelength, about equal to one wavelength, and smaller than one wavelength are considered. The analytical development that describes these elements is outlined
