Binary diffractive lens with subwavelength focusing for terahertz imaging
The converging lens is one of the key components in high-resolution terahertz imaging. In this Letter, a binary diffractive lens is proposed for the scanning imaging system working at 278.6 GHz, in which a convergent beam with a waist diameter of 0.65 mm is generated, and 1 mm lateral imaging resolution is realized. This low-cost terahertz lens, constituted by concentric rings with different radii, is optimized by stimulated annealing algorithm and fabricated by three-dimensional printing. Compared with the conventional transmissive convex lens, higher resolution and enhanced imaging quality are achieved via smaller focal spot of the illumination beam. This type of lens would promote terahertz imaging closer to practical applications such as nondestructive testing and other scenarios.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Optics Letters (COL) is an international journal aimed at the rapid dissemination of latest, important discoveries and inventions in all branches of optical science and technology. It is considered to be one of the most important journals in optics in China. It is collected by The Optical Society (OSA) Publishing Digital Library and also indexed by Science Citation Index (SCI), Engineering Index (EI), etc.
COL is distinguished by its short review period (~30 days) and publication period (~100 days).
With its debut in January 2003, COL is published monthly by Chinese Laser Press, and distributed by OSA outside of Chinese Mainland.
