Abstract
A class of photon sieve is introduced whose structure is based on the overlapping pinholes in the innermost zones. This kind of distribution is produced by, for example, a particular form of Gaussian function. The focusing property of the proposed model was examined theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that under He-Ne laser and white light illumination, the focal spot size of this novel structure has considerably smaller FWHM than a photon sieve with randomly distributed pinholes and a Fresnel zone plate. In addition, secondary maxima have been suppressed effectively.
