Abstract
An optical combiner with a Fresnel lens having a Fresnel surface coated with a thin film spectrally selective reflective coating configured to reflect light within a first wavelength range, and transmit light within a second wavelength range is provided. The optical combiner also includes a covering which covers the Fresnel surface and the reflective coating to provide a generally planar surface which is substantially parallel to a similarly planar exterior surface of the Fresnel lens. The covering may take the form of an optical adhesive (or of a second Fresnel lens) with an index of refraction which substantially matches the index of refraction of the Fresnel lens.

Original mount or holder for optical projection system

S Kato, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an original mount or holder for an overhead projector is provided in which a transparent original is formed or placed upon the flat surface of a Fresnal lens and a light reflecting surface or coating is formed either upon the stepped surface of the Fresnel lens opposite to the flat area where the transparent original was formed or on the surface of transparent original not engaging the lens.
