Introduction

Lens arrays consist of multiple individual lens cells arranged directly on a supporting substrate, in either a one-dimensional or two-dimensional configuration. The supporting substrate materials can include glass, polymers, and metals. The primary objective of utilizing a lens array is often to manipulate light beams in a specific manner to cater to various purposes in different fields such as lighting, imaging, and photonics.

This innovative design allows lens arrays to play a crucial role in optical systems, achieving precise control of light by strategically arranging lens units. The applications of lens arrays are diverse, ranging from improving the efficiency of lighting systems to optimizing the performance of imaging devices. The application of lens arrayseven play a pivotal role in photonics research.

The supporting substrate of lens arrays is carefully chosen, providing flexibility for configuration based on the specific requirements of the application. Whether used to enhance beam focus or to disperse light for specific effects, lens arrays showcase versatility and adaptability in the field of optics.
