Corrugated lens

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006884

A type of lens with a surface composed of concentric rings or grooves, designed to reduce thickness and weight while maintaining optical power. Each ring acts as a small prism, refracting light to a common focal point. These lenses, often called Fresnel lenses, are used in applications requiring large apertures and short focal lengths, such as lighthouses and traffic lights.
