Abstract:
A lens for transforming a radiation, representing a neutral or charged particle flux, comprising radiation transporting channels, adjoining their walls, with total external reflection and oriented by the input ends so that to capture the radiation of the source in use, wherein,the said lens is made as a package of sublenses of a various degree of integration, a sublens of a least degree of integration represents the package of radiation transporting channels, which is growing out of the joint drawing and forming a bundle of capillaries at the pressure of the gaseous medium in the space between them being less than the pressure in the capillaries of the channels and the temperature of softening of the material and splicing the neighboring capillaries, a sublens of each higher degree of integration represents a package of sublenses of the previous degree of integration, which is growing out of their joint drawing and forming at the pressure of the gaseous medium in the space between them being less than the pressure in the channels of sublenses and the temperature of softening of the material and splicing the neighboring sublenses, all sublenses of the highest degree of integration are combined in a unified structure, which is growing out of their joint drawing and forming at the pressure of the gaseous medium in the space between them being less than the pressure in the channels of sublenses and the temperature of softening of the material and splicing the neighboring sublenses and at change of drawing speed to form of barrel-shaped thickenings, the ends of the said unified structure are cut off and they form an input and output faces of the lens.
