    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Micro-optics
    • Light manipulation technologies

    Background:

    • Fresnel zone plates (FZPs) are diffractive optical elements capable of focusing light.
    • Modulators offer dynamic control over optical properties, enabling reconfigurable optical systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate and characterize arrays of coherent focused spots generated by programmable FZPs.
    • To investigate the control over array parameters such as size, transmissivity, and focal length.
    • To compare the performance of phase and amplitude modulators for this application.

    Main Methods:

    • Writing multiple Fresnel zone plates onto optically and electrically addressed spatial light modulators (SLMs).
    • Characterizing the generated arrays of focused spots.
    • Evaluating conversion efficiency using both phase-only and amplitude-only modulation schemes.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully generated programmable arrays of coherent focused spots.
    • Demonstrated control over the number of spots, transmissivity, and focal length of individual lenses.
    • Observed higher conversion efficiency with phase modulators compared to amplitude modulators.

    Conclusions:

    • Programmable FZP arrays on modulators offer versatile control over optical beam generation.
    • Phase modulators are more efficient for generating coherent focused spot arrays than amplitude modulators.
    • This technology has potential applications in optical trapping, sensing, and parallel optical processing.
