Fresnel zone plate solved by the boundary-diffraction-wave theory
Keyword(s):
The Fresnel zone plate is studied by the boundary-diffraction-wave theory (BDWT). Expressions are given for the fields in the transverse planes and along the axis; in particular, the wave amplitudes at the foci are considered in some detail. The BDWT provides a clear physical picture of the problem. The wave amplitude at any point is given by the sum of a finite number of rays determined by the number of zones in the plate. The foci are the points where the singly diffracted rays are in phase.
