Jm. Rivas-moscoso et al., Tapered gradient-index media and zone plates: influence of off-axis illumination and finite dimension on light propagation, J MOD OPT, 48(5), 2001, pp. 915-926
The effects of off-axis illumination and finite dimension on the irradiance
distribution in a hybrid system formed by a zone plate and a tapered gradi
ent-index (GRIN) medium are investigated. Results are applied to a GRIN med
ium with a divergent linear taper function and a sinusoidal zone plate of a
mplitude to show the transverse shift and the diffractional effect.
