Abstract:
In some example embodiments, there is provided an apparatus comprising a lens comprising a first medium having a first index of refraction and a second medium having a second index of refraction, wherein the first index of refraction is greater than the second index of refraction; wherein an interface between the first medium and the second medium is convex, and wherein total internal reflection from the first medium to the second medium forms an aperture on light transmission with edges dependent on the angle of light incidence. Related system, methods, and the like are also disclosed.
