It was found that binary phase diffractive optical element (DOE) with non-π phase difference had higher diffraction efficiency and adjustable zero-order intensity than a 0-π one. However, existing design methods are all based on the simulated annealing algorithm and thus computationally expensive. In this paper, a simple and efficient method using the iterative Fourier transform algorithm (IFTA) is proposed. In this method, the target pattern is first modified via reducing the zero-order intensity. Then, the IFTA is adopted to design the conventional 0-π DOE. Subsequently, the phase distribution remains unchanged and the phase difference is carefully adjusted to increase the zero-order intensity so that the reconstructed pattern is consistent with the target. To verify this method, several typical DOEs for beam splitting were designed and fabricated, and the result showed that the proposed method is effective.
