A special software is constructed effectively for reconstructing the fine phase distribution of the diffracted Gaussian laser
beams in the terahertz frequency range, according to common diffraction theory. The fine surface microrelief patterns of
the elements, which originate from the simple patterns in photomask and further etched onto the surface of {100}-
oriented silicon wafer by a low cost and rapid method, are created by the software above according to the phase
distribution designed. Being different with the traditional silicon diffractive lenses fabricated by multiple level processes,
the elements produced by the method introduced by us can transfer common Gaussian beams into desired images
through created fine patterns over the surface of the elements. Two typical type of diffractive elements, which are used to
transform common Gaussian laser beams in terahertz frequency into highly focused spot or so-called common focus, and
the desired figure of the "umber one", are designed and fabricated. For testing the element, the LASER SIEIR 50 of
Coherent Company is used to generate common Gaussian laser beams (the diameter of the beams is ~10mm), and the
PYROCAM THERE of Spiricon Company is also used to display the images acquired. Experimental results show that
the elements can be used to form needed light fields and expected images, respectively.
