Zone plate

A zone plate is a device used to focus light or other things exhibiting wave character.〔G. W. Webb, I. V. Minin and O. V. Minin, “Variable Reference Phase in Diffractive Antennas”, ''IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine'', vol. 53, no. 2, April. 2011, pp. 77-94.〕 Unlike lenses or curved mirrors however, zone plates use diffraction instead of refraction or reflection. Based on analysis by Augustin-Jean Fresnel, they are sometimes called Fresnel zone plates in his honor. The zone plate's focusing ability is an extension of the Arago spot phenomenon caused by diffraction from an opaque disc.
A zone plate consists of a set of radially symmetric rings, known as Fresnel zones, which alternate between opaque and transparent. Light hitting the zone plate will diffract around the opaque zones. The zones can be spaced so that the diffracted light constructively interferes at the desired focus, creating an image there.
==Design and manufacture==

To get constructive interference at the focus, the zones should switch from opaque to transparent at radii where
:r_n = \sqrt}
where ''n'' is an integer, λ is the wavelength of the light the zone plate is meant to focus and ''f'' is the distance from the center of the zone plate to the focus. When the zone plate is small compared to the focal length, this can be approximated as
:r_ \simeq \sqrt .
For plates with many zones, you can calculate the distance to the focus if you only know the radius of the outermost zone, ''r'' ''N'', and its width, Δ ''r''''N'':
:f = \frac}
In the long focal length limit, the area of each zone is equal, because the width of the zones must decrease farther from the center. The maximum possible resolution of a zone plate depends on the smallest zone width,
:\frac{\Delta r_{N}} = 1.22
Because of this, the smallest size object you can image, Δ''l'', is limited by how small you can reliably make your zones.
Zone plates are frequently manufactured using lithography. As lithography technology improves and the size of features that can be manufactured decreases, the possible resolution of zone plates manufactured with this technique can improve.
