Generalized composite aperiodic zone plates (GCAZPs) are proposed to generate clearer images at focal planes. The images can be produced by a target object at infinity based on a collimator. The proposed zone plate consists of the proposed radial zone plate (RZP), whose original radius is not zero, and the common aper…
