Suppression of the zeroth order diffraction via destructive interference with correction beam
Abstract
The zeroth order diffraction is suppressed by experimentally creating a correction beam using the spatial light modulator. Using the aperture division method, the intensity decreased by 39% for angular aperture division, 32% for annular aperture division, and 24% for the vertical aperture division. For the field addition method, ZOD intensity was decreased by 32%.
