Abstract
System and method for limiting reflections off of surfaces, such as optical lens and field goggles. A set of vanes are mounted next to the surface, with one end near the surface and the other end away from the surface. The vanes are mounted closer together at their end near the surface. This permits a wide field of view (FOV) for surfaces such as optical lenses. The vanes can be arranged in various forms, including concentric rings.
Claims9
An apparatus for reducing reflection on a surface comprising:
- a plurality of concentric circular vanes, each of said vanes including a first end proximate said surface, and a second end away from said surface, wherein said first ends of said plurality of vanes are positioned closer together to each other than said second ends of said plurality of vanes.
A system for reducing reflection from a surface of an optical lens comprising:
- vane means for limiting reflections from said surface while maintaining a substantially wide Field of View (FOV) for said optical lens;
- said vane means for mounting proximate said surface of said optical lens.
