Three-dimensional focus shaping with cylindrical vector beams

A three-dimensional focus shaping technique using the combination of cylindrical polarization with binary diffractive optical element is proposed. The energy density pattern at the vicinity of the focus can be tailored in three dimensions by appropriately adjusting the parameters of the cylindrical vector beam illumination, numerical aperture of the objective lens and the design of the binary diffractive optical element. Focus with extended depth of focus that has both transversal and longitudinal flattop profile is obtained. Optical bubble that has a total dark volume surrounded by high field distributions is also shown. Potential applications of this focus shaping technique are discussed.     

Formation of sub-half-wavelength focal spot with ultra long depth of focus

We theoretically demonstrate the creation of sub-wavelength focal spot with ultra long depth of focus (DOF) non-diffracting. To achieve a sub-half-wavelength focal spot (0.4λ) with modulation, extended DOF (over 9.5λ) in vacuum, an integration of amplitude phase encoding, cylindrical polarization and the combination of dual-beams is utilized. Further analysis also predicts that a flattop intensity distribution along z axis can be observed around the ideal focus point.     

A post-processing technique for extending depth of focus in conventional optical microscopy

In this paper, we propose a post-processing technique to obtain optical microscope images with extended depth of focus using a conventional microscope. With the proposed technique, we collect a sequence of images focused at different depths. We then combine the in-focus regions of each acquired frame to compose a single all-in-focus image. That is, a new image with extended depth of focus is obtained. The key to such an algorithm is in selecting the “in-focus” regions from each frame. In this paper, we describe the technique used to identify the in-focus region on every depth slice. Quantitative simulation results are presented where mean absolute error is used as a metric to assess the algorithm performance. Results using real imagery are also presented for subjective evaluation. Based on subjective evaluation and the quantitative simulation results, we believe that the proposed algorithm provides useful depth of focus extension.     

Transverse superresolution with extended depth of focus using binary phase filters for optical storage system

This paper reports the study of superresolution and extension of depth of focus (DOF) of three-zone binary phase filters (BPFs) under high numerical aperture (NA) focusing. Two three-zone BPFs (BPF1 and BPF2) are specially designed to achieve transverse superresolution and extension of DOF simultaneously for the optical disc system with an objective lens of NA = 0.65. Numerical simulations based on the vectorial diffraction theory indicate that the transverse focal spot size of this system can be as small as that of NA = 0.85 and its DOF is as large as that of NA = 0.6 with acceptable Strehl ratios (> 0.4 for BPF1 and > 0.35 for BPF2) and low side-lobe intensity ratios (< 10%) by using these BPFs. It suggests that the storage capacity of this optical storage system may be improved to the same as that of a system with an objective lens of NA = 0.85. Moreover, the strict requirement of the focusing servo system caused by decreasing wavelength or employing higher NA objective lens can be mitigated. Therefore, these BPFs presented in this paper should be highly interesting for applications of high density optical data storage.     

A novel approach to design intraocular lenses with extended depth of focus in a pseudophakic eye model

Eye model is firstly used to design and assess the performance of intraocular lenses (IOLs) with extended depth of focus (DOF), including aspherical IOL, refractive multifocal IOL and diffractive multifocal IOL. The details of design and optimization are given, and the optical performance of the pseudophakic eye with the designed IOLs is assessed with the spot diagram and the visual acuity. For the pseudophakic eye with 3 mm pupil, when the spherical aberration is fully corrected by the aspherical IOL, the best visual acuity reaches 1.2 with a DOF of only 1.4D. Whereas when the spherical aberration is 0.4λ, the best visual acuity is 0.9 with a DOF as much as 2.2D. With the implantation of refractive or diffractive multifocal IOL, the pseudophakic eye has fairly good distant and near vision, while the intermediate vision is worse. Diffractive multifocal IOL diverts 81% of the input light to two primary focuses equally, with the additional 19% of the light wasted as higher order diffraction. Refractive multifocal IOL diverts all the light to two focuses but the light distribution varies with the pupil diameter.     

Depth of focus estimation based on exposure dose distribution

A defocusing exposure dose distribution model is established with the integral effect of light intensity on time taken into account for laser direct writing on a thin photoresist with total reflection substrate. Exposure dose distribution curves are established using the established model for different photoresist depths. A side slope angle is established for each defocusing amount in accordance with the exposure dose distribution curves, and so depth of focus can be estimated by simply checking to see if the maximum side slope angle with the horizontal is in the range of 80-100°. Simulation results indicate that when laser direct writing is done on a thin photoresist with total reflection substrate using a laser with wavelength equal to 442 nm and a lens with numerical aperture equal to 0.5, the depth of focus estimated using the proposed method is 1 μm, which is just 1/3 of the depth of focus estimated using the method based on intensity distribution. It is therefore concluded that it is the integral effect of light intensity on time that causes the depth of focus estimation error, and the proposed method can be used to achieve a more accurate depth of focus estimation compared to the intensity distribution based method.

Effect of binary phase plate on incident radially polarized hollow Gaussian beam

Effect of a pure binary phase filter on the three-dimensional light intensity distributions in focal region is theoretically investigated in this paper. The results show that the proposed binary phase filter may induce flat top profile with large depth of focus and reduced focal spot by properly adjusting the geometrical parameters of the binary phase filter of incident radially polarized hollow Gaussian beam (HGB) beam. On the other hand, the HGB beam benefits the most from the use of an annulus. Such kind of system is potentially useful for lithography, imaging, optical data storage, optical trapping, optical excitation of molecules, or coupling to optical fibers.     

Ultra-elongated depth of focus of plasmonic lenses with concentric elliptical slits under Gaussian beam illumination

In this paper, we discuss the influence of ratio of minor to major axis on the propagation property and focusing performance of a plasmonic lens with variant periodic concentric elliptical slits illuminating under a Gaussian beam. In order to analyse the influence theoretically, a finite-difference time-domain （FDTD） numerical algorithm is adopted for the computational numerical calculation and the design of the plasmonic structure. The structure is flanked with penetrated slits through a 200-nm metal film （Au） which is coated on a quartz substrate. Tunability of focusing capability of the plasmonic lenses is studied by tailoring the ratio. Our calculation results demonstrate that the ratio of the elliptical slits greatly affects the focusing capability of the lense. The plasmonic lenses with concentric elliptical slits illuminating under a Gaussian beam have ultra-elongated depth of focus. These results are very encouraging for the future study of the plasmonic lens-based applications.

Numerical Simulation of Bessel-Gauss Light Beams in Crystals with Quadratic Nonlinearity

With the developed method of numerical simulation, the dynamics of formation of the spatial structure of interacting wave fields in the process of generation of the sum-frequency radiation was investigated. Radial intensity profiles and angular spectra of diffracting light beams with varied restriction and focusing parameters at different stages of energy exchange in the KTP crystal have been calculated. It is shown that with weak focusing, a self-channeling wave structure of soliton type with angular divergence of the second-harmonic component at the level close to the diffraction limit is formed in the field of the wide Bessel-Gauss pumping beam. Moreover, in the far-field zone complete spatial separation of the light fluxes corresponding to the fundamental and second harmonics occurs. Comparison of the efficiencies of conversion on pumping by Gauss and Bessel-Gauss light beams is made. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 3, pp. 358–365, May–June, 2005.
