Summary:The current application is directed to a new, highly dispersive optical element that is characterized by binary transmissibility. Various alternative implementations of the new optical element (NOE) are fashioned from semiconductor materials, including binary III-V and II-VI semiconductor materials. When applied as components within various optical devices and systems, the NOEs are fashioned to have shapes that provide high dispersion at non-extreme exit angles. The NOEs are additionally coated with multiple anti-reflective coatings which facilitate high transmission, in excess of 90 percent, across a wide range of visible and infrared wavelengths.
