Abstract
We are about to introduce a phase shifted orthogonal zone plate that is a special kind of orthogonal zone plate in which its phase profile is transversely and equally shifted along horizontal and vertical directions It is demonstrated that the phase shift causes the focal spot to be split into four completely identical spots It is also illustrated that the quadruplet spots are formed at the vertices of a square in which their separations are a function of a so called shifting parameter which manages the interval easily and accurately As well as we show that the spots are joined together at a given distance from the focus and generate a long depth focal spot Theory and numerical simulations of focusing properties of the phase shifted orthogonal zone plate are presented along with 3D representation Simulation results are also verified by experiments
