ABSTRACT:
A lens adapted for use in vehicular lighting employs a Fresnel configuration despite the fact that the lens has no axis of revolution and is formed as a quadric surface to meet vehicle design needs. The basic lens design is obtained by orthographically projecting a planar Fresnel pattern onto the quadric surface. The surfaces of the Fresnel steps are formed so that light emanating from a rear focus is converted into substantially parallel beams by reflection/reflection through the lens. The surfaces may have continuously or incrementally varying angulation, and may be formed by cutting using a 3 or 5 axis milling cutter.
