Article Abstract

In terahertz communication systems, lens antennas used in transceivers are basically plano-convex dielectric lenses. The size of a plano-convex lens increases as the aperture increases, and thinner lenses have longer focal lengths. Through theory and simulation, we designed a Fresnel lens suitable for the terahertz band to meet the requirements of large aperture and short focal length, and simulated the performance, advantages, and disadvantages of the terahertz Fresnel lens. A 300 GHz terahertz wireless communication system was built to verify the gain effect of the Fresnel lens antenna. The experimental results demonstrate that the Fresnel lens can be used for long-distance terahertz communication with larger aperture diameters, overcoming the limitations of traditional plano-convex lenses. The theoretical gain of a 30 cm Fresnel lens is 48.83 dB, while the actual measured gain is approximately 45 dB.

The phase problem is a well known ill-posed reconstruction problem of coherent lens-less microscopic imaging, where only the intensities of a complex wave-field are measured by the detector and the phase information is lost. For the reconstruction of sharp images from holograms in a near-field experimental setting, it is crucial to solve the autofocus problem, i.e.

X-ray imaging techniques employing diffractive and refractive lenses face the challenge of chromatic aberration if X-ray beams with a broad photon energy range are used. Recent advances combining a compound refractive lens and a Fresnel zone plate have enabled the development of achromatic lenses for X-rays, which exhibit a constant focal length over a wider range of photon energies. However, in this first demonstration, the potential of the achromatic X-ray lens was limited by the challenging task of aligning the two individual separate components.

We present the recording of multifocal lenses based on a linear Fresnel zone combination in a photopolymer medium based on polyvinyl-alcohol acrylamide (PVA/AA). A 4F system with a spatial light modulator (SLM) is used to compare experimental results with numerical simulations, achieving a ×2/3 magnification that enhances resolution in lens profile measurements. On the other hand, a genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize energy allocation at each focal point, maximizing the Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral in multifocal lens configurations.

One of the major goals of solar-pumped lasers is to improve -mode collection and conversion efficiencies. Several studies have explored multi-rod designs with the aim of enhancing laser output and thermal management by distributing the absorbed solar energy across multiple rods. In this work, we introduced a concept comprising four Fresnel lenses with a total collection area of 3.

We present a design for an adaptive Fresnel lens. The focal length can be altered by rotating two components relative to each other, each comprising modified cylindrical lenses wound into spirals. The main light-ray-direction change is due to transmission through pairs of parallel cylindrical lenses whose focal lengths have equal magnitude but opposite signs.
