Planar optical array with a spatial-integration feature

Appl Opt. 1999 Mar 1;38(7):1133-8. doi: 10.1364/ao.38.001133.

Abstract

A planar optical array is presented that provides a selective concentration of the light incident upon the system onto a given area. Several alternative designs are analyzed and explained geometrically. The photometric calculation is presented for three different levels of approximation. A prototype of the proposed system is tested, showing good accordance with the theoretical predictions.
