Abstract
We report an efficient method to generate arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) parallel multifoci inside a material. Taking into account the numerical aperture of the objective lens and the refractive index of the material, the Ewald cap was modified with a longer radius, then the whole 3D intensity distribution inside the material could be calculated using only a single Fourier transform (FT). By introducing the adaptive weight coefficient, the uniformity of the 3D multifoci improves from 81.3% to 98.9%. By adjusting the axial resolution of the Ewald cap, the uniformity of the axial multifoci improves from 85.9% to 99.7%. In the experiment, we have realized one-dimensional (1D), 2D, and 3D structures inside the fused silica, which are in excellent agreement with the simulation results. The experimental results of the ”H-U-S-T” structure demonstrate that customized arbitrary intensity distribution inside the material can be realized.
