Abstract
With the rapid development of micro-optical applications, there is an increasing demand for micro-optical elements that can be made with minimal processing steps. Current research focuses on practical functionalities of optical performance, lightweight, miniaturization, and easy integration. As an important planar diffractive optical element, the Fresnel zone plate (FZP) provides a compact solution for focusing and imaging. However, the fabrication of FZPs with high quality out of hard and brittle materials remains challenging. Here, we report on the fabrication of diamond FZP by femtosecond laser direct writing. FZPs with the same outer diameter and different focal lengths of 250-1000 µm were made via ablation. The fabricated FZPs possess well-defined geometry and excellent focusing and imaging ability in the visible spectral range. Arrays of FZPs with different focal lengths were made for potential applications in imaging, sensing, and integrated optical systems.

Abstract
The anti-reflection properties of hard material surfaces are of great significance in the fields of infrared imaging, optoelectronic devices, and aerospace. Femtosecond laser processing has drawn a lot of attentions in the field of optics as an innovative, efficient, and green micro-nano processing method. The anti-reflection surface prepared on hard materials by femtosecond laser processing technology has good anti-reflection properties under a broad spectrum with all angles, effectively suppresses reflection, and improves light transmittance/absorption. In this review, the recent advances on femtosecond laser processing of anti-reflection surfaces on hard materials are summarized. The principle of anti-reflection structure and the selection of anti-reflection materials in different applications are elaborated upon. Finally, the limitations and challenges of the current anti-reflection surface are discussed, and the future development trend of the anti-reflection surface are prospected.
