Figure 7

Splitting of a single focus in the focal plane after propagation through the periodic structure of ribs. The analytic solution obtained in paraxial approximation for a spherically converging wave (solid curve 2 within envelope 1) is compared to the results of simulations for the idealized source with a striped amplitude distribution obtained using a geometric approach (Fig. 6) (dashed curve 3).
