Phase shifted linear Fresnel zone plates are presented for the first time. These diffractive elements are linear Fresnel zone plates in which their phase are laterally shifted. The impact of the phase shifting on their diffractive and focusing properties are studied. It is demonstrated that by shifting the phase, two parallel linear beams can be generated at the focal plane. Furthermore, as they are propagating, a non-diffractive line-shaped beam is generated at a given distance from the focus. Transverse intensity profile of the beam at different distances as well as its cross section of propagation along the optical axis clearly shows that the intensity profile of the beam is really kept unchanged as it is propagated. All results are completely verified by experiments. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
