  2. Lens (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(geometry)

    A lens contained between two circular arcs of radius R, and centers at O 1 and O 2. In 2-dimensional geometry, a lens is a convex region bounded by two circular arcs joined to each other at their endpoints. In order for this shape to be convex, both arcs must bow outwards (convex-convex).

  3. Flint glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_glass

    A concave lens of flint glass is commonly combined with a convex lens of crown glass to produce an achromatic doublet lens because of their compensating optical properties, which reduces chromatic aberration (colour defects).

  4. Axicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axicon

    Diagram of Axicon and resulting Bessel Beam. An axicon is a specialized type of lens that has a conical surface. An axicon transforms a laser beam into a ring shaped distribution. [1] They can be convex or concave and be made of any optical material. The combination with other axicons or lenses allows a wide variety of beam patterns to be ...

  5. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_point_(optics)

    A diagram showing the optical center of a spherical lens. N and N' are the lens nodal points. The optical center of a spherical lens is a point such that If a ray passes through it, then its lens-exiting angle with respect to the optical axis is not deviated from the lens-entering angle.

  6. Lune (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lune_(geometry)

    In plane geometry, a lune (from Latin luna 'moon') is the concave-convex region bounded by two circular arcs. [1] It has one boundary portion for which the connecting segment of any two nearby points moves outside the region and another boundary portion for which the connecting segment of any two nearby points lies entirely inside the region.

  7. Convex drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_drawing

    Convex and strictly convex grid drawings of the same graph. In graph drawing, a convex drawing of a planar graph is a drawing that represents the vertices of the graph as points in the Euclidean plane and the edges as straight line segments, in such a way that all of the faces of the drawing (including the outer face) have a convex boundary.

  8. Precision glass moulding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_glass_moulding

    Concerning the curvature of the lens elements, the following statements can be drawn: Acceptable lens shapes are most bi-convex, plano-convex and mild meniscus shapes. Not unacceptable but hard to mould are bi-concave lenses, steep meniscus lenses, and lenses with severe features (e.g. a bump on a convex surface). In general, plano-curved ...

  9. Geometrical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_optics

    The focal length f is considered negative for concave lenses. Incoming parallel rays are focused by a convex lens into an inverted real image one focal length from the lens, on the far side of the lens. Incoming parallel rays are focused by a convex lens into an inverted real image one focal length from the lens, on the far side of the lens
