Figure 6
Diffraction efficiency [\varepsilon_{1}] versus separation distance [\Delta z] for different thicknesses ti of individual zone plates, and for two different values of outermost zone width: drN = 20 nm (a) and drN = 30 nm (b). For each individual zone thickness ti and separation distance [\Delta z], the number of stacked zone plates nzp was chosen to give maximum efficiency, as shown in Fig. 4(b)[link], and the average value of nzp corresponding to a particular value of ti is indicated. As can be seen, there is a pattern of maxima and minima in the efficiences as a function of separation distance [\Delta z], with the first two maxima denoted by zmax1 and zmax2, and the first two minima denoted by zmin1 and zmin2. These maxima and minima are compared with the Talbot distance [equation (10)[link]] for the outermost zones in Fig. 7[link].
