Abstract

An algorithm has been developed for the development of specialized plane-focusing optics with diminished light diameters, which is intended for use in automated tracking systems for moving objects. A complex of different geometric parameters of such optics has been calculated. Test samples of such lenses are formed using diamond-cutting micro-cutting technology based on the simulation results. A feature of focusing structures created by the diamond cutting technique is a discrete change in the refractive angles of microprismatic zones, resulting in the discreteness of the images formed in the focus. This is a main difference from Fresnel focusing optics with aspherical convex circular surfaces, when the angles of refraction change continuously. In the manufacture of such new devices by the diamond cutting method it is possible to obtain almost mirror working surfaces of a high optical quality. However, the size of such conical refracting zones should not be too large to reduce the discreteness of the formed images, so the new specified focusing microprisms are made from several totally identical prismatic elements. Test samples of the created lenses were examined using the laser diagnostics method. Energy characteristics of created lenses were investigated and their angular dependences were obtained. The obtained results made it possible to optimize the parameters of transforming optics and create flat-focus lenses that are more suitable for practical utilization.
