4.1.3 Plano-convex lens
Constraining the inner surface to planar results in a plano-convex lens, see Figure 19. We then have
𝑥

Contrary to the hyperboloidal lens, we now have refraction at both the inner and the outer surfaces.
The lens profile given in Eq. (9) do not resemble any known function and we therefore simply call this
lens a plano-convex lens.
