We present here a photonic chip based axicon like lens that has a 850 um long central lobe, with a diameter of 5.7 um. The 1.52 mm x 1.38 mm device consists of circular grating with a novel azimuthal apodization to increase light penetration depth by an order of magnitude and multiple stages of 1x2 multimode interferometer splitters/combiners. We characterize the axicon with a swept source laser (1300 +/- 50 nm) coupled in with a GRIN lens onto the device, with the light out-coupled from a regular grating coupler. We also characterize the spectral performance of the device, using balanced homodyne detection to resolve the power, and show that the position of the central lobe does not vary significantly with wavelength.
