Abstract

The scalar diffractive theory (in paraxial and non-paraxial cases) has been used for the investigation of focal domain for lens+axicon and lens+logarithmic axicon optical systems. It was shown that focal domain has a peak with a subwavelegth feature size. The use of this peak with shifting of the remaining part of the focal domain into the substrate makes it possible to improve the resolution for applications of multiphoton polymerization.
