  2. Fresnel lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens

    A Fresnel lens (/ ˈfreɪnɛl, - nəl / FRAY-nel, -⁠nəl; / ˈfrɛnɛl, - əl / FREN-el, -⁠əl; or / freɪˈnɛl / fray-NEL[ 1 ]) is a type of composite compact lens which reduces the amount of material required compared to a conventional lens by dividing the lens into a set of concentric annular sections.

  3. Fresnel number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_number

    The Fresnel number is a useful concept in physical optics. The Fresnel number establishes a coarse criterion to define the near and far field approximations. Essentially, if Fresnel number is small – less than roughly 1 – the beam is said to be in the far field. If Fresnel number is larger than 1, the beam is said to be near field.

  4. Hyperradiant Fresnel lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperradiant_Fresnel_lens

    Hyperradiant Fresnel lens. Hyper-radial or hyperradiant Fresnel lenses are Fresnel lenses used in lighthouses. They are larger than "first-order" lenses, having a focal length (radius) of 1330 mm (52.36 inches). The idea was mentioned by Thomas Stevenson in 1869 [1] and first proposed by John Richardson Wigham in 1872, and again proposed by ...

  5. Fresnel lantern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lantern

    A Fresnel with the lens open to show the ridges. There is no lamp in the instrument. A Fresnel lantern (pronounced frəˈnɛl or fruh-nel) is a common lantern used in theatre that employs a Fresnel lens to wash light over an area of the stage. The lens produces a wider, soft-edged beam than a spotlight or key light, and is commonly used for ...

  6. Cape Canaveral Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Canaveral_Light

    The 16.5-foot (5.0 m) tall original 1st-order Fresnel lens of the Cape Canaveral lighthouse (left) on display at the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse Museum with the 1st-order Fresnel lens of the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light (right). Ownership of the lighthouse was transferred by the Coast Guard to the United States Air Force on December 14, 2000 ...

  7. Near and far field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field

    The radiative near field (sometimes called the Fresnel region) does not contain reactive field components from the source antenna, since it is far enough from the antenna that back-coupling of the fields becomes out of phase with the antenna signal, and thus cannot efficiently return inductive or capacitive energy from antenna currents or charges.

  8. Optical landing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_landing_system

    The improved fresnel lens optical landing system, IFLOLS, uses a fiber optic "source" light, projected through lenses to present a sharper, crisper light. This has enabled pilots to begin to fly "the ball" further away from the ship making the transition from instrument flight to visual flight smoother.

  9. Space sunshade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

    A 1,000-kilometre diameter lens is sufficient, and much smaller than what is shown in this simplified image. As a Fresnel lens it would be only a few millimeters thick. Several authors have proposed dispersing light before it reaches the Earth by putting a very large lens in space, perhaps at the L1 point between the Earth and the Sun. This ...
