The G lens, fully known as a gradient-index lens, is a special optical element whose core feature is that the refractive index of the material is distributed in a gradient inside the lens, rather than a constant value like traditional lenses. This refractive index change is usually radial (i.e., gradually changing from the center to the edge), so that light propagates inside the lens along a continuously curved path rather than being suddenly bent at the surface.

Overview

The G lens, fully known as a gradient-index lens, is a special optical element whose core feature is that the refractive index of the material is distributed in a gradient inside the lens, rather than a constant value like traditional lenses. This refractive index change is usually radial (i.e., gradually changing from the center to the edge), so that light propagates inside the lens along a continuously curved path rather than being suddenly bent at the surface.

Key Features

lies in the fact that the refractive index of the material is distributed in a gradient within the lens, rather than being constant as in conventional lenses. This refractive index variation is usually radial (i.e., gradually changing from the center to the edge), so that light propagates along a continuously curved path inside the lens instead of being abruptly refracted at the surface.
