4. About

RODIS is written as part of the PhD-thesis of Bart Dhoedt ("Theoretical and Experimental Study of Free Space Optical Interconnections Based on Diffractive Lens Arrays" 1995). The 2D gratings were added by Danae Delbeke during her PhD-work ("Design and fabrication of a highly efficient light-emitting diode: The grating-Assisted Resonant-Cavity Light-Emitting Diode", 2002). In order to have a more user-friendly access to the c++ files, Lieven wrote the python-wrapper, with big support from Peter Bienstman, whose camfr -syntax was used as a model for the rodis-syntax.

All work is done at the photonics group from the Department of Informationtechnology (INTEC) of Ghent University, Flanders, Europe.
