Recently many ideas have been proposed for the use of a longitudinal field for particle
acceleration, fluorescent imaging, second-harmonic generation and Raman spectroscopy. A …

Diffraction is a natural phenomenon, which occurs when waves propagate or encounter an
obstacle. Diffraction is also a fundamental aspect of modern optics: all imaging systems are …

Planar optical lenses are fundamental elements of miniaturized photonic devices. However,
conventional planar optical lenses are constrained by the diffraction limit in the optical far …

We present a procedure for designing rotationally symmetric pupil-plane masks to control
the three-dimensional light-intensity distribution near focus. Our method is based on the use …

(57) ABSTRACT A system for increasing the depth of field and decreasing the wavelength
sensitivity and the effects of misfocus-producing aberrations of the lens of an incoherent …

A novel procedure for shaping the axial component of the point spread function of
nonparaxial focusing systems by use of phase-only pupil filters is presented. The procedure …

We report a novel scheme to optimize the focusing condition for real-time, swept-source
optical coherence microscopy. The axial and lateral behaviors of four-zone binary-phase …

We performed a detailed comparative study of the parametric high degree (cubic, fourth, and
fifth) power phase apodization on compensation defocusing and chromatic aberration in the …
