Abstract

A previous paper [2] presented an analysis of a class of microstructured optical surfaces in two dimensions, in which a classification of the microstructures was obtained (regular and anomalous) and a concept of 2D ideal microstructures was introduced. In this paper the study of those microstructured optical surfaces is extended to three dimensions with rotational symmetry. As a starting point, non-microstructured rotational optical systems in the First Order Approximation are also classified as point-spot type and ring-spot type, with remarkable perfect particular cases. This classification is also extended to the case in which ideal microstructured rotational surfaces are used, for both regular and anomalous type. The case of perfect ring-spot type system with an odd number of rotational, anomalous, ideal microstructures enables the definition of an anomalous aplanatic system that has direct application for mixing spatially and angularly the light emitted by several sources.

The difference between both is summarized saying that ring-spot type systems always enclose the origin, while point-spot type never does it.

The TIR lens is an example of anomalous structured surface. When considered with finite facet size (i.e., out of the infinitesimal limit) such anomalism translates in the function ρ (β) being discontinuous, with its envelope having positive derivative but ρ’(β) < 0 in each facet.
