High resolution imaging with Fresnel interferometric arrays: suitability for exoplanet detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We propose a new kind of interferometric array that yields images of high dynamic range and large field. The numerous individual apertures in this array form a pattern related to a Fresnel zone plate. This array can be used for astrophysical imaging over

An Out-of-Plane Operated Soft Engine Driving Stretchable Zone Plate for Adjusting Focal Point of an Ultrasonic Beam

open access: yesSensors, 2019
This paper presents a soft engine which performs up-and-down motion with four planar film-structured ionic polymer—metal composites (IPMC) actuators. This soft engine assembled with a stretchable Fresnel zone plate is capable of tuning the focus of

Lacunar fractal photon sieves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present a new family of diffractive lenses whose structure is based on the combination of two concepts: photon sieve and fractal zone plates with variable lacunarity. The focusing properties of different members of this family are examined.

Rough Fresnel zone plates over metallic surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Optics, 2010
We analyze the focusing properties of Fresnel zone plates fabricated over steel tapes using laser ablation. Our intention is to implement the use of micro-optical elements when the use of conventional chrome-glass elements is not indicated. Because of the manufacture process, the surface presents a certain anisotropic roughness, which reduces the ...

Refracting profiles and generalized holodiagrams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The recently developed concept of refracting profiles and that of refraction holodiagrams are combined so that the classical Abramson holodiagrams can be generalized taking into account a wider class of wave fronts and refraction at an interface ...

A MEMS-Controllable Fresnel Zone Plate for Miniaturized UV Spectrometer

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
This work presents the design and simulation of a MEMS-controllable linear motion Fresnel Zone Plate (FZP). The focal length of an FZP is a function of incident wavelength.

Nonlinear fresnel zone plate reflector [PDF]

open access: yes2016 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (APSURSI), 2016
This paper describes a nonlinear Fresnel zone plate reflector designed to operate at 2.8GHz. The alternating Fresnel zones of the reflector are made from two different nonlinear metamaterials: one that reflects like a short circuit at low incident power levels and another that reflects like an open circuit.

Diffractive X-ray Telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Diffractive X-ray telescopes using zone plates, phase Fresnel lenses, or related optical elements have the potential to provide astronomers with true imaging capability with resolution several orders of magnitude better than available in any other ...

Enhanced imaging with binary circular Dammann Fresnel zone plate.

open access: yesOptics Express
We introduce a novel approach in optical engineering by combining Dammann gratings with binary Fresnel zone plates to create a unique hybrid optical element with enhanced energetic efficiency of its focal spots.
