Generation of diffraction-free optical beams using wrinkled membranes
Wrinkling has become a well developed bottom-up technique to make artificial surface textures in about the last decade. However, application of the optical properties of long range ordered wrinkles has been limited to one dimensional gratings to date. We report the demonstration of macroscopic optical focusing using wrinkled membranes, in which concentric wrinkle rings on a gold-PDMS bilayer me...
متن کاملGeneration of diffraction-free beams for applications in optical microlithography
A new concept based on a Fabry–Pérot interferometer for the generation of nondiffracting Bessel beams is described and proposed for potential applications in microlithography such as the fabrication of small isolated patterns. It was experimentally demonstrated that the depth of focus can be increased by a factor of about 2, and simultaneously the transverse resolution improved by a factor of 1...
متن کاملDiffraction-free pulsed optical beams via space-time correlations.
Diffraction places a fundamental limitation on the distance an optical beam propagates before its size increases and spatial details blur. We show here that imposing a judicious correlation between spatial and spectral degrees of freedom of a pulsed beam can render its transverse spatial profile independent of location along the propagation axis, thereby arresting the spread of the time-average...
متن کاملHolographic Synthesis of Diffraction Free Beams and Dark Hollow Beams
Since its discovery, holographic techniques had been proved to be one of the most powerful tools for controlling the optical field in almost all the optical areas [1,2,3]. Just to mention some ones, these techniques had been used in the design of hybrid lenses to decrease or avoid aberrations, in optical metrology it had been used to analyze the vibration modes in order to detect potential risk...
متن کاملDiffraction-free mode generation and propagation in optical waveguides
Propagation within optical waveguides is re-examined in terms of diffraction-free propagation. The concept of the general diffraction-free mode is introduced. It is suggested that the optimised photonic bandgap waveguide must generate such a mode for loss-free propagation to be achieved. The invention of the ‘‘Fresnel’’ waveguide is described. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Whe...
