Figure 1. Field intensity distribution near the focus: (a) the
PS; (b) the classical FZP.
Figure 2. The field intensity distribution in dB in the focal
plane for classical FZP (red) and PS FZP (blue).
in millimeter wave allows obtaining insight into physical
systems which are characterized by nanometric objects,
because the D/f and D/λ are almost the same.

there is evidence that Lord Rayleigh (unpublished) had
anticipated this result.
