ABSTRACT:
A multifocal optical device is provided for focusing light traveling parallel to an optical axis of the device. The multifocal optical device comprises a multifocal phase zone plate including at least two annular zones disposed substantially concentrically about the optical axis and spaced in a radial dimension from the optical axis in proportion to the square root of q, where q is an integer zone number; and an absorbing material disposed on a portion of ones of the annular zones for absorbing a portion of the light.
