By modulating the zone width of a plasmonic Fresnel zone plate, consisting of metallic nanostructures covered with a dielectric layer, the authors demonstrated numerically that a focused beam can be achieved with higher intensity and smaller spot size than the diffraction-limited conventional Fresnel zone plate. Rigorous electromagnetic simulation predicts a full width at half maximum of 162 nm (equivalent to an effective numerical aperture of 1.30) at 0.5 mu m focal length, using 405 nm wavelength illumination. This sub-diffraction-limit focusing has potential in applications such as maskless nanolithography, high resolution scanning optical microscopy, optical data storage, and optical antenna. This focusing capability is related to extraordinary optical transmission, which is explained by the complex propagation constant in the zones afforded by higher refractive index dielectric layer and surface plasmons.
