<p>A lens (10) based on the concentration of electro-magnetic radiation through combined reflective and refractive properties of the lens (10). In one form of the lenticulated lens (10), radiation impinges and is transmitted through a substantially planar frontal surface (18). The incident radiation subsequent to being transmitted through the frontal surface (18) impinges on a rear inclined surface (26) forming a portion of the lenticulated rear surface (20) of the lens (10). The ray is reflected from the mirror coated inclined surface (26) and is egressed from the frontal surface (18) and is refracted to a focus line (F). The incident rays (12) impinging on the frontal surface (18) are thus directed to the linear focus line (F) when the lenticulations of the lens (10) are linearly directed. By providing refraction and reflection passage of the incident rays (12) from and through the lens (10), the reflected portion of the incident ray (12) which is focused to a line focus (F) is maximized. </p> |
