Abstract:
An improved sinusoidal phase plate is proposed by adding a new parameter to the conventional sinusoidal phase plate. A series of performance comparisons are made among various phase plates, including sinusoidal, cubic phase, and the modified logarithmic phase. The results demonstrate that the improved sinusoidal phase plate can further extend the depth of field in incoherent hybrid imaging systems, with lower surface relief phase structures fabricated in photoresist (AR-N 4340, ALL Resist, Germany).
