Abstract
In this contribution, we investigate the use of holographic optical elements (HOEs) as progressive addition lenses (PALs). We design HOEs with high diffraction efficiency (DE) using the Fourier Modal Method (FMM) and optimize an optical system comprising two of these HOEs to fulfill the optical function of a 2 diopter (dpt) PAL. The resulting design is a holographic PAL (hPAL) exhibiting high DE and limited angular color error (CE) with a distribution of spherical power and astigmatism equivalent to its refractive counterpart. To our knowledge, our contribution is the first complete design of an hPAL. While our HOE design method is shown for PALs here, it has the potential to improve other applications of HOEs as well.
