Discusses the use of a silicon diffractive optical element by engineers at the R&D Center of Oki Electric Industry Co. of Tokyo, Japan. Control of optical wavefronts through a clever design of diffractive optics; Solution to the cost and optical-power losses that come from collimating light through aspherical lenses; Failure of the technology to meet performance demands or market acceptance; Selection of a silicon diffractive element for high diffraction efficiency.
