  • Publication number: 20220276425
    Abstract: A matrix-array optical component that includes, superposed, a holder, a matrix-array of reflectors and at least one matrix-array of holographic lenses with the holder placed between the matrix-array of reflectors and the at least one matrix-array of holographic lenses. The holographic lenses are each formed by at least one reflection hologram, and each includes a through-aperture for letting light pass. Each individual cell of the matrix-array optical component includes one reflector of the matrix-array of reflectors and one holographic lens of the matrix-array of holographic lenses, which are arranged opposite one another on either side of the holder with respective reflective faces of the reflector and of the holographic lens located facing. Thus, a planar matrix-array optical component with a focusing efficiency higher than or equal to 50% and able to focus an incident light beam axially is produced.
