Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Micro-optics
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • Generating three-dimensional (3D) arrays of light foci is crucial for advanced optical applications.
  • Existing methods often face limitations in scalability and precision for complex 3D structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a novel scheme for producing a 3D Dammann array in the focal region of a microscope objective.
  • To present a simple and efficient design method for the required micro-optical elements.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two micro-optical elements: a Dammann zone plate (DZP) and a 2D Dammann grating (DG).
  • Developed a binary pure-phase (0,π) DZP design based on vectorial Debye theory.
  • Experimentally demonstrated the 3D Dammann array generation using a combination of DZP, 2D DG, and lenses.

Main Results:

  • Successfully generated a 5×5×5 Dammann array for a low numerical aperture (NA=0.127) objective.
  • Generated a 6×6×7 Dammann array for a high NA (NA=0.66) objective.
  • Achieved micrometer-sized focus spots and spacings in the tens of micrometers.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed scheme effectively produces 3D Dammann arrays for both low and high NA objectives.
  • This technique enables micrometer-scale 3D light lattice generation.
  • Potential applications include 3D parallel micro/nanomachining, optical manipulation, data storage, and multifocal microscopy.
