Summary and References
This article has discussed diffractive surface modeling in ZEMAX . In summary:
- Diffractive surfaces introduce additional ray bending, according to a modified form of Snell's Law
- The phase introduced by the diffractive power is continuous across the surface
- Multiple diffraction orders can be modeled simultaneously by using multiple configurations

It would be helpful, in this article to show a zemax file with a diffractive binary 1 surface as an example. The theory is excellent but an example with Zemax would help alot.

good! I'm learning the diffractive optics a lot nowadays. this article is very useful!!

It would be nice to have a concrete example of how to translate a binary surface from ZEMAX to a drawing specification. In addition, showing the "groove" profile would also be beneficial. That's my two cents.

I do think that an example file which could be downloaded will help a lot.
