Lens (or miror): focusing by refraction (or reflexion) focus Plane wavefront Fresnel array: focusing by diffraction … focus Focalization : different ways Lens Order 0 : plane wave Order 1 : convergent
2D radial expansion Concentric geometry (Soret 1875) Efficiency at order 1: 10% Exemple for 15 Fresnel zones
2D Cartesian expansion Orthogonal geometry (2005) Efficiency at order 1: 4 to 8 % Exemple for 30 Fresnel zones g(x)= 1 si (x2 +f2)1/2Î [(f/ml + (k-off)+1/2) ml ; (f/ml + (k-off)+1) ml[ sinon g(x) = 0 Fresnel Zone plate or Aperture synthesis array ? (here: 1740 ouvertures) Transmission (x, y) = g(x) xor g(y)
Image formation circular geometry => isotropic PSF Image Aperture non linear luminosity scale In order to show the faint isotropic rings.
Image formation Orthogonal geometry => orthogonal PSF Image Aperture Quasi no stray light except in the spikes. Transmission: g(x) g(y) non linear luminosity scale In order to show the faint spikes.

Comparison: Fresnel arrays versus a solid aperture Images of a point source by: 150 Fresnel zones 1500 Fresnel zones Solid square aperture luminosity scale:Power 1/4 to show spikes
"for" Fresnel Arrays: No mirror, no lens to focalize : just vacuum and opaque material. => apotentially very broad operational domain: 90nm - 25 mm Angular resolution: as high as with a mirror the size of the whole array. High dynamic range: 108 on compact objects for a 300 zones array Large tolerance in positioning of subapertures for l/20 wavefront quality: 100 mm in the plane of the array 10 cm in the wave propagation direction (perp. to array) The tolerance is wavelength independent => Opens a way to build very large aberration-free apertures for astrophysics.
"against" Fresnel Arrays: C F = C2/8N l Chromaticity... corrected by small diffractive lens after focus, (order 1 chromaticity cancelled by order -1 chromaticity), but bandpass limitations remain: Dl/l = √2 S/C kilometric focal lengths => requires formation flying in space Low transmission compared to a mirror : t = 5 to 10%
Diffractive lens at order -1 e.g. 10 cm Converging lens e.g. 10 cm 10 to 100 km mask Img. plane 2 : achromatic pupil plane Spacecraft 2 holding focal instrumentation Optical scheme of the Fresnel Diffractive Imager Primary Fresnel array e.g. 20 m Field Optics e.g. 2m Order 0 rays Focal Instrumentation image plane 1dispersed Order 1 rays, focused by primary array Spacecraft 1 holding primary Fresnel array
Chromatically aberrated beam at prime focus The field - bandpas compromise Field delimited by field mirror The chromatic corrector does a good job, but it corrects only what it collects.
