Luneburg lens: Applications, Path of a ray within the lens & Designs

A Luneburg lens (original German Lüneburg-Linse) is a spherically symmetric gradient-index lens. A typical Luneburg lens's refractive index n decreases radially from the center to the outer surface. They can be made for use with electromagnetic radiation from visible light to radio waves.
