Abstract
A new method for image formation in the focal plane of the objective i s proposed and realized using novel optical elements, so-called spekfo rms manufactured by hot moulding and baking technology. The spekforms with the maximum optical inhomogeneity gradient varying from tenths to hundreds of a wavelength have been designed and fabricated. They allo w formation of both axially symmetric and axially nonsymmetric contour drawings with radiation transformation efficiency close to 100%.
