Abstract
A renewable liquid reflecting zone plate. Electrodes are operatively connected to a dielectric liquid in a circular or other arrangement to produce a reflecting zone plate. A system for renewing the liquid uses a penetrable substrate.
Claims18
A renewable liquid reflecting laser zone plate for reflecting short pulses, comprising:
- a dielectric or conducting liquid, said liquid having a surface for reflecting said short pulses, and
- electrodes positioned below said surface and operatively connected to said dielectric or conducting liquid in a circular or other arrangement that produces said reflecting laser zone plate, and
- a system for renewing the liquid.
A method of producing a liquid reflecting laser zone plate for reflecting short pulses comprising
- providing a renewable dielectric or conducting liquid having a surface for reflecting said short pulses,
- positioning electrodes below said surface and located relative to said dielectric or conducting liquid in a circular or other arrangement that produces said reflecting laser zone plate for reflecting short pulses.
