Evolution of graded refractive index in squid lenses.
A lens with a graded refractive index is required for vision in aquatic animals with camera-type eyes. This optical design entails a radial gradient of protein density, with low density in external layers and high density in internal layers. To maintain the optical stability of the eye, different material properties are required for proteins in different regions of the lens. In low-density regi...
متن کاملStudying Focusing Properties of Graded Index Photonic Crystals Made of Material with Different Refractive Index
In this paper we investigate focusing properties of graded index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are composed of different materials with different refractive indices. GRIN PC structure is constructed from air holes in dielectric background. The holes radii are varied in the normal direction to the propagation in such a way that a parabolic effective refractive index is produced. ...
متن کاملReducing Refractive Index Variations in Compression Molded Lenses by Annealing
Compression molding of glass optics is gradually becoming a viable fabrication technique for high precision optical lenses. However, refractive index variation was observed in compression molded glass lenses, which would contribute to image quality degradation. In this research, annealing experiments were applied to control the refractive index variation in molded glass lenses. The refractive i...
متن کاملFabrication of Polymeric, Nanolayered, Spherical, Gradient Refractive Index (GRIN) Lenses
A nanolayered polymer films fabrication approach creating Gradient Refractive INdex (GRIN) lenses with designer RI distribution profiles is reviewed. Fabricated GRIN examples are presented demonstrating unparalleled RI profile design freedom and scalable optic size. OCIS codes: (080.0080) Geometric Optics; (160.0160) Materials
متن کاملOrigami with negative refractive index to generate super-lenses.
Negative refractive index materials (NRIM) enable unique effects including superlenses with a high degree of sub-wavelength image resolution, a capability that stems from the ability of NRIM to support a host of surface plasmon states. Using a generalized lens theorem and the powerful tools of transformational optics, a variety of focusing configurations involving complementary positive and neg...
