With a semi-analytical result from the Extended Nijboer-Zernike theory (which relates the Zernike modes that form a pupil function directly to basic functions in the focal region), an algorithm is developed which finds pupil functions which give rise to an extended depth of focus. An outcome of this algorithm is used to create a phase mask, which is tested experimentally with a Spatial Light Modulator.TN\TWOpticsApplied Science
