Abstract

Light propagation through a tapered gradient-index medium with a zone plate located at the input of the medium for non-uniform and uniform illumination is studied. Evolution of the beam half-width of the zone plate diffraction orders and an analogy with the conventional lens imaging formula are presented. A particular case is analysed.
