Fresnel lenses Fresnel lenses replace conventional lenses that have a curved surface with a series of concentric grooves, which are moulded into the surface of lightweight plastic sheets. The moulded grooves act as individual refracting surfaces when viewed in cross section. These lightweight large-aperture Fresnel lenses are widely used as collimators and collectors, e.g. in sensor or communication systems. Alongside our established low-cost standard range, we offer a precision range of different manufacture, with very close tolerances and better surface finish, and so suitable for more demanding applications such as projection systems and simulators. Some 'cylindrical' lenses focusing light in one direction only are included. These lenses are uncoated.
