Abstract
A broadband-corrected optical telescope has been constructed from a photon sieve with five million holes. Through careful optimization of hole size, this “antihole” sieve has holes centered on the dark underlying Fresnel zones. The diffraction-limited performance of a 1 m focal-length, element is demonstrated with a view toward constructing large lightweight telescopes for space applications.
