Abstract
A study has been made of the scanning properties of solid dielectric bifocal lenses. In two dimensions, a bifocal lens is a two-surface lens, symmetric about an axis, designed to collimate the rays from a primary point source lccated at either of two conjugate off-axis positions into plane waves making angles 
and 
respectively with the axis. A point-by-point technique used in computing the lens surfaces is discussed. Three-dimensional polystyrene lenses, each about 50 wavelengths in diameter and with 
, were built by rotating two-dimensional designs about their axes. The optical aberrations and the radiation patterns of three such lenses are described.
