چکیده
We propose the use of a phase-shifting apodizers to increase focal depth, and we study the axial and radial behavior of this kind of apodizer under the condition that the axial intensity distribution is optimized for high focal depth.

High focal depth with a pure-phase apodizer.
High-density optical data storage requires high-numerical-aperture (NA) lenses and short wavelengths. But, with increasing NA and decreasing wavelength, the depth of focus (DOF) decreases rapidly. We propose to use pure-phase superresolution apodizers to optimize the axial intensity distribution and extend the DOF of an optical pickup. With this kind of apodizer, the expected DOF can be 2-4.88 ...
متن کاملOn-axis diffractional behavior of two-dimensional pupils.
We show that, at any Fresnel number, a suitable one-dimensional Fourier transform relates the complex-amplitude distribution along the optical axis with the zero-order circular harmonic of the amplitude transmittance of a two-dimensional diffracting screen. First, our general result is applied to recognize that any rationally nonsymmetric screen generates an axial-irradiance distribution that e...
متن کاملDesign, analysis and test of a microdots apodizer for the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph
Context. Coronagraphic techniques are required to detect exoplanets with future Extremely Large Telescopes. One concept, the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC), is combining an apodizer in the entrance aperture and a Lyot opaque mask in the focal plane. This paper presents the manufacturing and tests of a microdots apodizer optimized for the near IR. Aims. The intent of this work is to demo...
متن کاملMeasurement of focal length of lens using phase shifting Lau phase interferometry
In this paper, we proposed a phase shifting Lau phase interferometry for the measurement of the focal length of a lens. The fundamentals of this application are discussed and the basis of the phase map interpretation is outlined. A three step phase-shifting algorithm is used to depict the phase maps of a lens-like test object and an application for measuring the focal length of a lens is report...

Context. The Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) is a promising coronagraphic device for direct exoplanets detection on the European-Extremely Large Telescope. This concept features amplitude apodization in the entrance aperture, and a small opaque Lyot mask in the focal plane. We present new near-IR laboratory results using binary apodizers – the so-called microdots apodizer – which represe...
