    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Mask-alignment errors in fabricating four-level binary lenses were studied. Misalignment degrades image quality and reduces Strehl intensity linearly with error, impacting optical performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Microfabrication Technologies

    Background:

    • Binary lenses are crucial optical components.
    • Precise fabrication is essential for their performance.
    • Mask alignment is a critical step in lithographic fabrication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of mask-alignment errors on four-level binary lenses.
    • To understand how misalignment affects the optical performance and image quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of the pupil function considering mask misalignment.
    • Application of scalar diffraction theory.
    • Analysis of the point-spread function and image degradation.

    Main Results:

    • Phase term in pupil function shifts the point-spread function location.
    • Uneven light transmittance degrades image quality along the misalignment direction.
    • Strehl intensity decreases nearly linearly with increasing alignment error.

    Conclusions:

    • Mask-alignment errors significantly influence the performance of four-level binary lenses.
    • Image quality degradation is direction-dependent.
    • Quantifiable relationship established between alignment error and Strehl intensity reduction.
