Analysis of Fresnel Zone Plates Focusing Dependence on Operating Frequency
نویسندگان
چکیده
The focusing properties of Fresnel Zone Plates (FZPs) against frequency are analyzed in this work. It is shown that the FZP focal length depends almost linearly on the operating frequency. Focal depth and focal distortion are also considered, establishing a limit on the frequency span at which the operating frequency can be shifted. An underwater FZP ultrasound focusing system is demonstrated, and experimental results agree with the theoretical analysis and simulations.

Rough Fresnel zone plates over metallic surfaces.
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 focusing properties. First, we develop numerical...
متن کاملPinhole Zone Plate Lens for Ultrasound Focusing
The focusing capabilities of a pinhole zone plate lens are presented and compared with those of a conventional Fresnel zone plate lens. The focusing properties are examined both experimentally and numerically. The results confirm that a pinhole zone plate lens can be an alternative to a Fresnel lens. A smooth filtering effect is created in pinhole zone plate lenses, giving rise to a reduction o...

A series-form expression for the individual diffracted field of a general annular ring is derived from the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral. It can be used for the accurate and fast simulation of any diffractive focusing element composed of concentric transparent rings. We present a comprehensive analysis, based on the leading term and the linear superposition principle, of the focusing...

The impact of decreased zone height on the focal properties of hard X-ray Bragg-Fresnel zone plates has been studied by numerical simulation. Decreased zone height allows for smaller zone widths and, although the efficiency of the lens is decreased, the signal-to-background ratio in the focal plane of the lens remains at a comparatively high level. This is distinct from an analogous case of ord...
متن کاملFabrication of Fresnel zone plates for hard X-rays
A method to fabricate gold structures with high aspect ratio is presented. Fresnel zone plates with an outermost zone width of 100 nm and structures of 1 lm height are fabricated. Preliminary focusing results at an X-ray energy of 8 keV are presented and ways to improve the zone plate parameters are discussed. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
