Cover Story: Rotationally symmetric meso- and micro-scale optical elements are widely used and increasingly favored. Usually, fabrication is based on lithographic techniques such as direct laser writing, which typically suffer from a long writing duration and disturbing stitching effects. To overcome these limitations, we introduce annular grey tone lithography as a fast and flexible exposure process. The exposure tool employs axicon combination and creates ring-shaped light distribution with a variable diameter in the image plane. Continuous relief surface profiles are exposed by changing the ring diameter and controlling the exposure dose simultaneously. Various fabricated diffractive elements as well as refractive spherical and aspherical elements with a maximum diameter of ~6 mm and a maximum height of 4 μm are shown as examples. View this paper
