Canon diffractive optical (DO) Lenses are smaller and lighter compared to the lenses of same focal length,  for example EF 70–300mm f/4.5–5.6 DO IS USM lens is 28 percent shorter than the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS USM lens. But the price DO lenses are generally high compared to the normal lenses of same focal length.
