Abstract
In an earlier publication [1]. the possibility of producing high resolution zone plates for X-ray applications by spatial-frequency multiplication was analyzed theoretically. The theory predicted that for a daughter zone plate generated from the interference of mth and nth diffraction orders of a parent zone plate. its primary focal spot size and focal length are one (m + n)th of their counterparts of the parent zone plate, respectively. It was also shown that a zone plate with the outermost zone width of as small as 13.8nm might be produced by this technique. In this paper, we report an experiment which we carried out with laser light (λ = 4166Å) for demonstrating this technique. In addition, an outlook for producing high resolution zone plates for X-ray application is briefly discussed.
