A Fresnel lens is designed for redirecting the light for further use. Fresnel lens have short focal length, less volume, large acceptance and higher efficiency as compared to ordinary lenses.It is designed for area focus to achieve uniform illumination and less temperature at entrance of optical fiber bundle. The Fresnel lensis made up of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It is a compilation of number of small square blocks, whereeach block is uniquely designed.Their ray trajectory is analyzed by using Trace-Pro software.
