Abstract
The systems, devices, and methods described herein relate to modulo GRIN optical design concepts. The modulo GRIN optical design may include optical devices including may include one or more gradient portions. These optical devices may include an index of refraction with a profile that gradually transitions along an axis of the optical devices with areas of abrupt change. The profile of this index of refraction may provide a shorter focal length than possible using conventional GRIN index of refraction profiles.
