Binary-phase zone plate arrays for the generation of uniform focal profiles

The generation of uniform focal intensity profiles is important for a number of applications, including laser-plasma interaction experiments. We report on a focusing system that uses a novel binary-phase optic capable of producing efficient two-dimensional uniform top-hat intensity optical and x-ray...
