Ph.D. degree, (1996-2000) Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, under the supervision of Prof. A. A. Friesem and Dr. Y. Amitai. The thesis deals with the investigation of planar elements and systems for imaging and display. It includes expansion of the theoretical investigations of planar elements to include surface relief patterns with arbitrary shape and depth, and arbitrary incident light. These investigations will lead to a comprehensive understanding of planar elements and to their incorporation in various applications, such as display, imaging and polarizing elements. The work also involves an extensive study of subwavelength diffractive optical; elements and of photosensitive holographic materials. Part of the work is carried out as a team effort involving supervising of lab assistants, technicians and junior students.
