Design of objective lens with reflective spherical Fresnel zone plate

Abstract

An objective lens composed of a spherical Fresnel zone plate mirror and aspheric mirrors is designed. The Fresnel zone plate with a spherical shape is analyzed, and the method to approximately replace the aspherical mirror with spherical Fresnel zone plate is deduced. The objective lens is designed with a single spherical Fresnel zone plate mirror and three aspherical mirrors. Under the condition of 100 6 magnification, 2.5 Fresnel number and 120u field angle, the modulation transfer function can reach above 40% at 0.6 line pairs/mm on the magnification side, and the distortion is less than 2.2%. This method can provide a reference for the application of Fresnel zone plate in visible light imaging, and has a bright future with the continuous development of the fabrication technique of Fresnel devices.
