Abstract
In this Letter, we report mirror-rotation-symmetrical single-focus spiral zone plates (MS-SZPs) fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing. The novel optical element can generate a single-focus vortex beam, owing to the element's complicated continuous surface. The MS-SZP surface possesses reverse mirror-rotation symmetry, which ensures that the transfer element has the same surface morphology as the original element. Both the transfer element and original element have good optical properties. The single-focus behavior was investigated by a microscopic imaging system and found to be in good agreement with theoretical simulation results. The innovative optical component is expected to be widely used in optical communication, quantum computation, optical manipulation, and other fields.
