there are severl ways to do this
1) a hot plasma is transparent, and magnetically confinable/ shapeable - google Fresnel Oscillations 2) water is a polar molecule - use a static field to shape a water lens 3) if you look at the eigenmodes of oscillation of a 'drum' you may be able to produce a fresnel zone plate in some kind of optical medium via magneto acoustics 4) with the advent of new electro optice materials, it may be possible to induce optical holographic effects in a material couple this with high speed detectors and image processing and it may be possible to have super resolved holographic imaging soon if not now "phoenix" wrote in message oups.com... Theoretically. Is it possible to construct a telescope using holographic lens such that you flick a switch and the lens just formed at the front. I like the idea of a very lightweight 0 wave error 6" refractor that I can carry at my back when hiking and just putting it on the equally lightweight image stabilizer mount when the sky has a great view. In 4000 A.D. Can the above occur.. theoretically?? phoenix |
