Abstract:
The invention concerns a transparent thin liquid crystal alignment film (1) including liquid crystals (2) within a polymerised liquid crystal composition, the film (1) comprising a first main surface (1a), a second main surface (1b) and a bulk (1c) comprised between said opposed two main surfaces (1a, 1b), for which: ⋅ in the vicinity of the first main surface (1a), the liquid crystals (2a) are aligned along a main first direction, ⋅ in the vicinity of the second main surface (1b), the liquid crystals (2b) are aligned along a main second direction, different from the first direction, and in between, the bulk (1c) comprises liquid crystals (2c) maintained in an isotropic orientation. The invention concerns also a process of manufacturing such a liquid crystal alignment film (1) and a polarization-independent spatial phase modulator including such a liquid crystal alignment film (1).
Abstract:
Method for determining an ophthalmic lens which comprises an aspherical continuous layer and an aspherical Fresnel layer. The aspherical continuous layer is supported by one of the faces of the lens, the same holds for the aspherical Fresnel layer.

Abstract:
A refractive Fresnel lens used for an optical system including an image plane, which includes a plurality of zone lens surfaces disposed concentrically and a plurality of side wall surfaces each formed between adjacent zone lens surfaces, is characterized in that the side wall surfaces are modulated so as to spatially spread in the image plane noise light due to reflection and/or refraction at the side wall surfaces.
