  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 rhomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_rhomb

    A Fresnel rhomb is an optical prism that introduces a 90° phase difference between two perpendicular components of polarization, by means of two total internal reflections. If the incident beam is linearly polarized at 45° to the plane of incidence and reflection, the emerging beam is circularly polarized, and vice versa.

  4. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    Fresnel equations. Partial transmission and reflection of a pulse travelling from a low to a high refractive index medium. At near-grazing incidence, media interfaces appear mirror-like especially due to reflection of the s polarization, despite being poor reflectors at normal incidence. Polarized sunglasses block the s polarization, greatly ...

  5. Augustin-Jean Fresnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustin-Jean_Fresnel

    École Polytech (1821–1824) Augustin-Jean Fresnel[Note 1] (10 May 1788 – 14 July 1827) was a French civil engineer and physicist whose research in optics led to the almost unanimous acceptance of the wave theory of light, excluding any remnant of Newton 's corpuscular theory, from the late 1830s [3] until the end of the 19th century.

  6. Piedras Blancas Light Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedras_Blancas_Light_Station

    Piedras Blancas lighthouse (circa 1930) prior to removal of upper three levels. The first-order Fresnel lens at Piedras Blancas was first illuminated on February 15, 1875. [ 7 ] The Piedras Blancas lighthouse was originally 100 feet (30 m) high to the top of the ventilator ball, but earthquakes damaged the structure over the years.

  7. Pemaquid Point Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemaquid_Point_Light

    The original light was an Argand-Lewis parabolic reflector, lit with candles and with a visibility of 2 miles (3.2 km). Augustin Fresnel invented a superior way of focusing light in the early 1850s and most lighthouses in the U.S. were converted to the Fresnel Lens, with Pemaquid Point receiving a fourth order Fresnel in 1856.

    It featured interchangeable prisms and focusing screens; the camera had a depth-of-field preview button; the mirror had lock-up capability; it featured a large bayonet mount and a large lens release button; a single-stroke ratcheted film advance lever; a titanium-foil focal plane shutter; various types of flash synchronization; a rapid rewind ...

  9. 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.
