<p>A zone plate focusing radiation comprises a plurality of surface portions (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 30) corresponding to zones of the zone plate. The surface portions are positioned in a plurality P of parallel planes such that each surface portion diffracts radiation out of phase with respect to adjacent surface portions such that radiation diffracted by the surface portion constructively interferes at a focus of the zone plate. The Pth plane is dielectrically spaced from the first plane by nμ, where μ is the wavelength of the radiation and n is an integer.</p> |
