Sumario:The diffractive optical elements have enhanced his importance in the last decades due to the improvement of the technology which allows its construction and the greater computing power that helps predicting the behaviour of the diffractive structures in function of the design parameters without en extra cost. The periodic symmetry become a key factor in order to understand the performance of these elements, and it allows to study the properties and the applicability of the different diffractive elements. However, this periodicity also introduces certain limitation in the design of the elements and their properties, such as high chromatic aberration when they are used as image forming elements. To overcome this limitations it was proposed the use of deterministic aperiodic sequences in the design of the diffractive optical elements. In this Thesis work I study different aperiodic sequences and their effect in the design of new diffractive structures. In particular, we use the Cantor fractal set, the Fibonacci sequence and the Thue--Morse series in the design of devices with different purposes. Along the development of the Thesis there have been generated new diffractive elements which overcome some limitations, opening new field for the application of pre-existing technologies. Between them, they can be highlighted the optical alignment systems, the generation of optical vortex, the reduction of the chromatic aberration and the enhancement of the focal depth in image forming elements.
