Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the focusing performance of closed-boundary cylindrical microlenses (CBCMs) based on rigorous electromagnetic theory and the boundary element method. The CBCMs with different incident angles, different quantization-level numbers, different microlens diameters, different f-numbers, and different polarizations of incidence are studied. Several focusing performance measures, such as the focal spot size, the diffraction efficiency, the real focal position, and the normalized transmitted power, are presented. It provides very useful information in designing the CBCMs in micro-optical systems.
