Abstract
We report on a novel method of generating light sheet with extended depth of field based on one-dimensional Airy beam by the use of single cylindrical lens. In the method, coma is intentionally introduced into the system by oblique illumination to approximate a cubic phase mask. Experimental studies were presented to validate this method. This technique can be easily applied to current light sheet generators where cylindrical lens is used, as only tilt of the cylindrical lens is needed.
