Combinational System of a Truncated Ball Lens and a Hyperbolic Lens for Collimating a Highly Divergent Source

We propose the use of a truncated ball lens in a collimating system to transform a spherical wave from a highly divergent source into a plane wave. The proposed scheme, which incorporates a hyperbolic lens, is discussed, and the overall system is found to have a large acceptance angle and to be free...
