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.
Let \(f_{a, b}(x, y)=f(x-a, y-b)\) be the function obtained from \(f\) by translation. From the general property of the Fourier transform: \[\mathcal{F}\left(f_{a, b}\right)(\xi, \eta)=e^{-2 \pi i(\xi a+\eta b)} \mathcal{F}(f)(\xi, \eta) . \nonumber \] Hence, when the field \(U_{0}\) is translated, the intensity in the Fraunhofer far field is ...
A Fresnel (pronounced fray-NEL) lens replaces the curved surface of a conventional optical lens with a series of concentric grooves. These contours act as individual refracting surfaces, bending parallel light rays to a common focal length (Figure 1).
These equations are called the Fresnel Equations for perpendicularly polarized (s-polarized) light.
An easy-to-understand explanation of the Fresnel lenses used in lighthouses, headlamps, and elsewhere.
Camera flashes and accessories use Fresnel lenses to focus light into a narrower beam, great for maximizing light intensity from a portable, battery-powered device.

Fresnel lenses are a special kind of optical lenses, where the surface profile contains annular steps such that a given focal length can be achieved with a substantially reduced thickness of the lens.
Fresnel lens, succession of concentric rings, each consisting of an element of a simple lens, assembled in proper relationship on a flat surface to provide a short focal length. The Fresnel lens is used particularly in lighthouses and searchlights to concentrate the light into a relatively narrow
A Fresnel lens is an optical component which can be used as a cost-effective, lightweight alternative to conventional continuous sur-face optics.
