A specific light intensity distribution is produced at a chosen plane (commonly located at infinity or at the lens focal plane) through interference effects. This is made possible by engineering the diffraction orders and the object distance. The underlying mechanism begins with the micro‑structured surface of the DOE, which alters the transmitted phase of the laser beam, thereby applying phase modulation to the incident wavefront and dispersing it into multiple orders.
