Focusing by a high-power, low-Fresnel-number lens: the fly facet lens

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Diffraction by fly facet lenses has been investigated by photographing the diffraction patterns at various distances from a facet lens whose power was estimated to be 2.03 × 104D. We studied three different aperture diameters with Fresnel numbers of the order of unity. A large focal shift was prominent at the lower Fresnel number. The measured diffraction patterns correspond to those calculated with the Kirchhoff diffraction theory for an aberration-free lens with low Fresnel numbers.
