ABSTRACT:
An array of Fresnel zone plates is illuminated by parallel beamlets of narrow-band electromagnetic radiation. The individual zone plates focus a significant fraction of the incident radiation to foci on a substrate located at least several micrometers distant. The beamlets are capable of being individually turned on or off by shutters, or by deflecting small mirrors that would otherwise direct a beamlet to its Fresnel zone plate. Pattern generation is accomplished by moving the substrate while multiplexing the individual beamlets on or off.
