Abstract
A laser system, and method therefor, is disclosed which uses a single holographic bifocal lens element, comprised of non-overlapping first and second holographic lenses, to perform a plurality of different functions in the system. The field lens converges and focuses the first reconstructed beam on a desired target. Light reflected from the target back to the second holographic lens causes that lens to generate and focus a second reconstructed beam at a collection point. The holographic bifocal lens element is fabricated by initially producing a lenslet holographically by recording the interference of two point sources on a first portion of the same side of a hologram recording medium and then producing a collection lens holographically by recording the interference of two point sources on opposite sides of the hologram recording medium.
