Fig. 1From: Development of a novel multifocal lens using a polarization directed flat lens: possible candidate for a multifocal intraocular lensPolarization-directed flat (PDF) lens. When the incidental light is right-handed circular polarization (RHCP), the focal length of the PDF lens is positive. On the other hand, left-handed circular polarization (LHCP) generates a negative focal length. That is, the PDF lens acts as a converging lens with focal length (f) > 0 and a diverging lens with f < 0, depending on the polarization state of the incidental lightBack to article page
