Scientific paper

Optical systems consisting of several Fresnel lenses are demonstrated to provide large aperture, wide field imaging for systems with forgiving imaging requirements. Fresnel lenses are shown to be made very thin which makes them ideal for space applications in which system mass and absorption losses are critical. Optics for a proposed space-based air shower detector (Orbiting Wide-angle Light-collector, OWL) are displayed which are the result of a feasibility study.
