AIM:To evaluate clinical outcomes following implantation of an extended range of vision intraocular lens(IOL),the ZXR00,and a diffractive multifocal IOL with+2.75 diopters(D)add power,the ZKB00.METHODS:Totally 30 patients who underwent either bilateral implantation of the ZXR00 IOL with intended emmetropia(ZXR00 emmetropia group:20 eyes)and intended micromonovision(ZXR00 monovision group:20 eyes),or bilateral implantation of the ZKB00 IOL with intended emmetropia(ZKB00 group:20 eyes)were included in this study.Visual acuity at 4 m,80,and 40 cm;and the types of halos(misty,fine,and rainbow)were analyzed at one and three months after surgery.RESULTS:There were no significant differences in distance visual acuity among the three groups.The mean uncorrected intermediate visual acuity was better in the ZXR00 emmetropia and monovision groups(0.02 logMAR and 0.02 logMAR,respectively)than in the ZKB00 group(0.14 logMAR).The mean uncorrected near visual acuity was worse in the ZXR00 emmetropia group(0.26 logMAR)than in the ZXR00 monovision and ZKB00 groups(0.12 logMAR and 0.10 logMAR,respectively).There was an increased incidence of rainbow halos in the ZKB00 group vs in either ZXR00 group(P=0.033).CONCLUSION:Implantation of the ZXR00 IOL with intended micromonovision provide superior visual acuity than implantation of the ZXR00 IOL with intended emmetropia.The ZXR00 IOLs tend to show a lower incidence of rainbow halos than did the ZKB00 IOL.

Fabrication of Binary Diffractive Lenses and the Application to LED Lighting for Controlling Luminosity Distribution

We designed and fabricated two types of binary diffractive lenses using Electron beam lithography (EBL) on optical films film for controlling LED light. In the case of the binary diffractive convex lens with 2-mm focal length, it is possible to control the luminous intensity distribution. To improve the diffraction efficiency and realize a thin LED light source, the binary diffractive lenses with 100-μm-order focal length are effective. Furthermore we fabricated and characterized the binary diffractive concave lenses for application in LED lighting. It is found that white-light LEDs are strongly diffused by using the binary diffractive concave lenses.

Diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation in patients with monofocal intraocular lens in the contralateral eye

AIM:To evaluate clinical outcomes of unilateral implantation of a diffractive multifocal intraocular lens(IOL)in patients with contralateral monofocal IOL.METHODS:Twenty-two patients who already had implantation of a monofocal IOL in unilateral eye underwent implantation of a diffractive multifocal IOL in contralateral eye were enrolled.After 1,6,and 12 mo,uncorrected and distant corrected distant visual acuity(UCDVA and DCDVA),uncorrected and distant corrected intermediate-visual acuity(UCIVA and DCIVA),uncorrected and distant corrected near visual acuity(UCNVA and DCNVA),and contrast sensitivity were obtained.Halo/glare symptoms,spectacle dependence,and patient satisfaction were also evaluated.RESULTS:The mean age was 67.86±7.25 y and the average interval between two IOL implantations was 645.82±878.44 d.At 1 mo,binocular UCDVA was lower than 0.20 logMAR in 76%of patients(mean 0.12±0.13 logMAR),which increased to 90%by 6 and 12 mo.The binocular UCDVA was significantly better than the monocular results(P<0.05)at 1,6,and 12 mo.Additionally,UCNVA was lower than 0.40 logMAR in 82%of patients,increasing to 90%by 6 and 12 mo.Mean UCNVA in the multifocal IOL implanted eye was statistically significantly better than that in the monofocal IOL implanted eye(P<0.05)at 1,6,and 12 mo.About 5%of patients at 1 and 6 mo,reported"severe glare or halo".Patient satisfaction rates were 95%and 91%at 6 and 12 mo,respectively.CONCLUSION:Unilateral implantation of multifocal IOL in patients with a contralateral,monofocal IOL implantation results in high patient satisfaction rate,with low severe glare or halo rate during follow-up.It can represent a good option for patients who have previously had a monofocal IOL implantation regardless of two year interval duration between two IOL implantations.

AIM：To evaluate clinical outcomes after implantation of a new diffractive aspheric multifocal intraocular lens（IOL） with ＋3.00 addition power.METHODS：This is a retrospective,consecutive case series of cataract patients who underwent bilateral implantation of the Optiflex MO/HF D012（Moss Vision Inc.Ltd,London,UK） multifocal IOL.Patients followed for 6 mo were included in the study.Data on distance,intermediate and near visual acuity,refractive error [manifest spherical equivalent（MSE）],contrast sensitivity,adverse events,subjective symptoms,spectacle independence and patient satisfaction [visual function questionnaire（VFQ）-25 questionnaire] were retrieved from electronic medical records and analyzed.RESULTS：Forty eyes of 20 patients with a mean age of 66.7±8.5 y（range：53-82） were included in the study.Mean uncorrected distance,near and intermediate visual acuity remained stable through postoperative visits and was 0.19±0.19 log MAR,Jaeger 4 and Jaeger 3 respectively at the 6 mo visit.At the end of postoperative 6 mo,MSE was-0.14±0.42 diopters（D） and 98% of the eyes were within 1.00 D of target refraction.Postoperative low contrast（10%） visual acuity remained stable（P=0.54） through follow up visits with a mean of 0.35±0.17 log MAR at the 6 mo visit.There were no reported adverse events.None of the patients reported subjective symptoms of halo or glare.Spectacle independence rate was 90%.Mean VFQ-25 questionnaire score was 93.5±6.12.CONCLUSION：The Optiflex MO/HF-DO12 IOL was safely implanted and successfully restored distance,intermediate and near visual acuity without impairing contrast sensitivity.High levels of spectacle independence were achieved at all distances including intermediate distance.

Large aperture phase-coded diffractive lens for achromatic and 16°field-of-view imaging with high efficiency

Diffractive lenses(DLs)can realize high-resolution imaging with light weight and compact size.Conventional DLs suffer large chromatic and off-axis aberrations,which significantly limits their practical applications.Although many achromatic methods have been proposed,most of them are used for designing small aperture DLs,which have low diffraction efficiencies.In the designing of diffractive achromatic lenses,increasing the aperture and improving the diffraction efficiency have become two of the most important design issues.Here,a novel phase-coded diffractive lens(PCDL)for achromatic imaging with a large aperture and high efficiency is proposed and demonstrated experimentally,and it also possesses wide field-of-view(FOV)imaging at the same time.The phase distribution of the conventional phase-type diffractive lens(DL)is coded with a cubic function to expand both the working bandwidth and the FOV of conventional DL.The proposed phase-type DL is fabricated by using the laser direct writing of grey-scale patterns for a PCDL of a diameter of 10 mm,a focal length of 100 mm,and a cubic phase coding parameter of 30π.Experimental results show that the working bandwidth and the FOV of the PCDL respectively reach 50 nm and 16°with over 8%focusing efficiency,which are in significant contrast to the counterparts of conventional DL and in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.This work provides a novel way for implementing the achromatic,wide FOV,and high-efficiency imaging with large aperture DL.

Analysis of the Focusing Characteristics of Double Negative Binary Diffractive Lens

For a compact millimeter wave imaging system it is very important to design every component into small size, for the components in a millimeter wave system are usually much larger than those in an optical imaging system due to rela-tively long wave lengths. In this paper, we suggest a kind of binary diffractive lens (BDL) designed using double nega-tive materials (DNG) as the objective lens for a millimeter wave imaging system. The DNG-BDL has not only the ad-vantage of low profile but also small f number, which will be benefit for constructing a compact millimeter wave imaging system. Several DNG-BDL are designed and analyzed using the FDTD method. The numerical results of the focal plane field of the DNG-BDL are presented, which show that the DNG-BDL with small f number has relatively better focusing characteristic than that of a double positive BDL with same f number.

Compound diffractive telescope system:design,stray light analysis,and optical test

The compound diffractive telescope is a novel space optical system which combines the structure of compound eyes with diffractive optics and so it has a lighter weight, a wider field of view （FOV）, a lower cost as well as looser fabrication tolerance. In this paper, the design of a compound diffractive telescope composed of one primary lens and twenty-one eyepieces is introduced. Then the influence of diffraction orders on the performance of the system is analysed. A modified phase function model of diffractive optics is proposed to analyse the modulation transfer function （MTF） curves for 0° FOV, which provides a more accurate prediction of the performance of the system. In addition, an optimized mechanism is also proposed to suppress stray light. The star image and resolution tests show that the system can achieve diffraction limit imaging within ±2° of FOV and 4-4 mm of eccentricity. Finally, a series of pictures of an object are taken from different channels, and the splicing of pictures from adjacent FOVs is demonstrated. In summary, the designed system has been proved to have great potential applications.

Diffraction of terahertz waves after passing through a Fresnel lens

The spatiotemporal and spectral characteristics of ultrawide-band terahertz pulses after passing through a Fresnel lens are studied by using the scalar diffraction theory. The simulation shows that the transmitted terahertz waveforms compress with increasing propagation distance, and the multi-frequency focusing phenomenon at different focal points is observed. Additionally, the distribution of terahertz fields in a plane perpendicular to the axis is also discussed, and it is found that the diffraction not only induces focusing on-axis but also inhibits focusing at off-axis positions. Therefore, the Fresnel lens may be a useful alternative approach to being a terahertz filter. Moreover, the terahertz pulses travelling as a basic mode of a Gaussian beam are discussed in detail.

Three-Dimensional Planar Metallic Lenses Based on Concentric Rings with Modulated Subwavelength Width

A kind of Subwavelength Planar Metallic Lenses (SPMLs) is proposed to realize far-field optical focusing in the visible range based on concentric rings with modulated width in a silver film. The width of each metallic ring is mutative so that the radiation fields of surface plasmon polaritons can be controlled and the relevant phase retardations can be modulated to make a beam focus at the desired position. For comparison, the Subwavelength Planar Dielectric Lenses (SPDLs) structured on silica glass with the same concentric ring shapes as SPMLs are analyzed, although without opaque metal coating on SPDLs, the computational results show that SPMLs can support higher intensity focal spot, narrower full-width half-maximum beam width, and longer depth of focus at the focal region under certain lens thickness due to the coupling of surface plasomon polaritons, diffracted evanescent waves and propagated electromagnetic waves.

A multi-photon(7×7)-focus 3D laser printer based on a 3D-printed diffractive optical element and a 3D-printed multi-lens array

One of the challenges in the field of multi-photon 3D laser printing lies in further increasing the print speed in terms of voxels/s.Here,we present a setup based on a 7×7 focus array(rather than 3×3 in our previous work)and using a focus velocity of about 1 m/s(rather than 0.5 m/s in our previous work)at the diffraction limit(40×/NA1.4 microscope objective lens).Combined,this advance leads to a ten times increased print speed of about 108 voxels/s.We demonstrate polymer printing of a chiral metamaterial containing more than 1.7×10^(12) voxels as well as millions of printed microparticles for potential pharmaceutical applications.The critical high-quality micro-optical components of the setup,namely a diffractive optical element generating the 7×7 beamlets and a 7×7 lens array,are manufactured by using a commercial two-photon grayscale 3D laser printer.

An accurate design of graphene oxide ultrathin flat lens based on Rayleigh-Sommerfeld theory

Graphene oxide （GO） ultrathin flat lenses have provided a new and viable solution to achieve high resolution, high efficiency, ultra-light weight, integratable and flexible optical systems. Current GO lenses are designed based on the Fresnel diffraction model, which uses a paraxial approximation for low numerical aperture （NA） focusing process. Herein we develop a lens design method based on the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld （RS） diffraction theory that is able to unambiguously determine the radii of each ring without the optimization process for the first time. More importantly, the RS design method is able to accurately design GO lenses with arbitrary NA and focal length. Our design is experimentally confirmed by fabricating high NA GO lenses with both short and long focal lengths. Compared with the conventional Fresnel design methods, the differences in ring positions and the resulted focal length are up to 13.9% and 9.1%, respectively. Our method can be further applied to design high performance flat lenses of arbitrary materials given the NA and focal length requirements, including metasurfaces or other two-dimensional materials.

Effects of mask-alignment error on point spread function for multi-level Fresnel diffractive lenses

The full aperture complex amplitude transmittance function of a multi-level diffraction lens with mask- alignment errors was derived based on scalar diffraction theory. The point spread function （PSF） was calculated by the Kirchhoff diffraction integral. It is found that the radius of the Airy disk increases with the increase of the error in the direction of misalignment, and the image center shifts along the direction of misalignment. A fourlevel diffractive lens with a diameter of 80 mm was fabricated, and its PSF and diffraction efficiency of ＋1st order were calculated and measured. The distribution of PSF is consistent with the calculated results, and the tested diffraction efficiency is slightly smaller than the calculated value; the relative error is 5.71%.
