Figure 2
(a) Parabolic profiles for different values of R employed, truncated at apertures corresponding to nearly halfway depth into a 1 mm-thick plate. Optical microscope image in inset. (b) Transmission through diamond CRLs discussed here: long-focal-length test in Section 3 (solid line), collimation in Section 4 (dashed line), and focusing in Section 4 (dotted lines). On-axis transmission is slightly less than 1 due to the thin walls. Plotted are only one side of the axis due to symmetry. Vertical-line markers indicate 1/2 of the extent of the beam size illumination, as discussed in the main text. |
