Electrically controlled Fresnel zone plates made from ring-shaped 180 degrees domains.
We present high efficiency, low noise electrically-controlled Fresnel phase zone plates that were made by creating ring-shaped 180 degrees ferroelectric domains in a lithium niobate wafer. The primary focal lengths of these lenses ranged from 5 to 43 cm, and the light-gathering efficiency was over 37%, very close to the maximum theoretical value of 40.5%.
