Abstract
In this paper, we report the possibilities to apply photon sieve principle to binary diffractive lens in millimeter wave band. The FDTD simulation showing the idea of the photon sieve application to millimeter wave optics does not allow increasing resolution power, due to the small number of holes in the FZP aperture. But such simulation results may be used in simple computational experiments in millimeter wave which allows obtaining insight into physical systems characterized by nanometric objects because D/f and D/λ are almost the same.
