Abstract
We investigate the focusing action of refractive microlens based on the rigorous electromagnetic theory by boundary element method. We numerically simulate total electric-field patterns, the electric-field intensity distributions on the focal plane, and their diffractive efficiencies at the focal spots for describing the focusing behaviours of these microlenses with continuous and multilevel surface-envelopes. Focusing action of incident beam with a certain angle of inclination is indagated as well. The present numerical and graphical results may provide an useful information for the analysis and the design of refractive elements in micro-optics.
