Abstract
Studying Fresnel lenses means understanding geometrical optics. As Fresnel lenses are essentially chains of prisms, the optics of the prism play a vital part in designing Fresnel lenses. Geometrical optics is well understood, and this knowledge is readily available in handbooks [21, 66, 157]. However, classical geometrical optics deals with refractive imaging devices.
