Focusing performance of Fibonacci tiling-based zone plates

In this work, we present the Fibonacci Tiling-Based Zone Plates (FTZPs) characterized by a Fibonacci binary array generated using complementary substitution rules applied in both horizontal and vertical directions. The resulting array forms a quasiperiodic structured pattern where each row and column corresponds to a Fibonacci sequence or its Boolean complement. This array defines a transmittance function in a normalized spatial domain, partitioned into rectangulars sub-regions. Unlike conventional Fibonacci zone plates, which feature concentric rings, the FTZP consists of transparent and opaque rectangles, offering unique optical properties advantageous for diffraction-based applications. The intensity distribution along the optical axis and the evolution of transverse diffraction patterns are investigated through both numerical simulation and experimental measurements.

Abstract

In this work, we present the Fibonacci Tiling-Based Zone Plates (FTZPs) characterized by a Fibonacci binary array generated using complementary substitution rules applied in both horizontal and vertical directions. The resulting array forms a quasiperiodic structured pattern where each row and column corresponds to a Fibonacci sequence or its Boolean complement. This array defines a transmittance function in a normalized spatial domain, partitioned into rectangulars sub-regions. Unlike conventional Fibonacci zone plates, which feature concentric rings, the FTZP consists of transparent and opaque rectangles, offering unique optical properties advantageous for diffraction-based applications. The intensity distribution along the optical axis and the evolution of transverse diffraction patterns are investigated through both numerical simulation and experimental measurements.
