Abstract:Extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) diffractive lenses produce a narrow and long focusing region which have many applications on microscopy, laser focusing or contact and intraocular lenses. Several designs have been proposed to achieve EDOF by angularly modulating the focal length. Nevertheless, when the focus is highly elongated, some undesired intensity fluctuations are produced. To solve this problem, we have generalized this type of lenses by defining their focal length as a Fourier series. Moreover, we have u… Show more
