In this study, the Fresnel lens was investigated as a potential candidate for vision correction in patients with myopia. A few previous studies have suggested this idea; however, Fresnel lenses are limited by their aesthetics and quality. Therefore, we designed a combination of Fresnel lens grooves with a constant height and pitch of 13 µm and 0.1 mm, respectively, to overcome the limitations caused by ultra-precision machining with a tool nose radius of 30 µm. A thin replicated Fresnel lens with a power of -5 diopter was procured and applied directly as spectacles that are unattached to the normal lens. The optical performance and image quality of the Fresnel lens were compared with those of a conventional lens possessing the same power in both near and far vision. These results extend the applicability for the use of Fresnel lenses as vision-correcting ophthalmological lenses and imaging systems.

Spatially selective imaging (SSI) involves sampling a group of pixels from different positions on an encoded object to display a decoded image. Here, SSI is achieved by using off-axis cylindrical Fresnel lens arrays to decode multiple images from an encoded print of structural color pixels. Each image is optically retrieved by separately placing different "keys" (arrays of lenses in different pseudorandom configurations) over the same encoded print, and then each image is digitally reconstructed for visualization.

Background: Reduction of spontaneous nystagmus by fixation, a characteristic feature of peripheral nystagmus, is important for differentiating between peripheral and central vestibular disorders. In the emergency room, Frenzel goggles are recommended to observe spontaneous nystagmus for the differential diagnosis of acute vestibular syndrome. We developed a portable loupe with a Fresnel lens to observe nystagmus.

In terahertz communication systems, lens antennas used in transceivers are basically plano-convex dielectric lenses. The size of a plano-convex lens increases as the aperture increases, and thinner lenses have longer focal lengths. Through theory and simulation, we designed a Fresnel lens suitable for the terahertz band to meet the requirements of large aperture and short focal length, and simulated the performance, advantages, and disadvantages of the terahertz Fresnel lens.

This approach leverages a partially saturated diffraction pattern to reconstruct the complex amplitude of a measured laser beam. The corresponding intensity images near the beam waist along the axial direction are determined directly via the Fresnel diffraction formula.

In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time the focusing of gigahertz coherent phonon pulses propagating in water using picosecond ultrasonics and Brillouin light scattering. We achieve this by using planar Fresnel zone plate and concave lenses with different focal lengths. Pump light illuminating the optoacoustic lens generates a focusing acoustic field, and Brillouin scattered probe light allows the acoustic field to be continuously monitored over time.
