Abstract

A photon sieve with ${10}^7$ holes has been constructed for operation at optical wavelengths. Details of the design, fabrication, and performance of this device are presented. The $1\mathrm{m}$ focal-length, $0.1\mathrm{m}$ diameter element is diffraction limited over a significant bandwidth and has a moderate field of view.
