  Researchers introduce a cost-effective method for producing optical Fresnel zone plate lenses, using colored photoresists for enhanced light manipulation.


The article from MSN discusses a significant advancement in the field of optics, specifically in the fabrication of Fresnel Zone Plates (FZPs). Traditionally, FZPs, which are used to focus light and are crucial in applications like microscopy and X-ray imaging, have been complex and costly to produce due to their intricate design requiring precise alignment of multiple layers. However, researchers have developed a new, simplified method for creating these lenses. This innovative approach involves using a single layer of material where zones are defined by varying the thickness or refractive index, thus eliminating the need for multiple layers and reducing both the complexity and cost of production. This breakthrough not only makes FZPs more accessible for various scientific and commercial applications but also enhances their potential for integration into more sophisticated optical systems.
