Micron scale binary periodic phase plate for increased depth of focusing based on a non local analysis and design
In this section, BPPPs are designed for various purposes. One purpose is single focusing for periods in the lower and higher ranges at a large depth of over \(750 \times 10^3 \lambda _o\), i.e., 1m at a wavelength of \(1.33\mu m\), while keeping…
