Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Diffractive zone plates are crucial for focusing radiation, with applications spanning X-ray to extreme UV (EUV) wavelengths.
  • Gabor zone plates offer advantages over conventional Fresnel zone plates by suppressing higher-order foci, yielding a pair of conjugate foci.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel Beynon Gabor zone plate (BGZP) utilizing a perfectly absorbing carbon nanotube (CNT) forest.
  • To experimentally analyze the lensing performance of BGZPs with varying sector configurations (0, 8, and 20 sectors).
  • To validate the experimental findings through numerical investigations.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a novel BGZP using a perfectly absorbing CNT forest as the absorbing material.
  • Experimental analysis of the lensing performance of 0, 8, and 20 sector BGZPs.
  • Numerical simulations to investigate BGZP configurations and compare with experimental results.

Main Results:

  • Experimental analysis demonstrated the lensing capabilities of the developed BGZPs.
  • Numerical investigations confirmed the experimental observations of the BGZP performance.
  • A high-contrast focal spot was achieved, exhibiting an intensity 487 times higher than the average background.

Conclusions:

  • The novel Beynon Gabor zone plate based on carbon nanotube forest shows promising performance for focusing applications.
  • The experimental and numerical results validate the effectiveness of the BGZP design.
  • This technology offers potential for enhanced imaging and focusing in X-ray and EUV regimes.
