Can Nanotubes Make a Lens Array?

2 ] However ,refl ective binary Fresnel lenses fabricated so far all suffer from refl ections from the opaque zones and hence degrada-tion in focusing and the lensing properties. Here we fi nd a solution to this problem by developing carbon nanotube Fresnel lens, where we exploit the darkest man-made mate-rial ever,
