Abstract
An optical element that is made of a transparent medium Lrotationally symmetric relative to the central axiswith a refractive index greater than 1, wherein the transparent medium Lhas a first transmissive surface, a first reflective surface, a second reflective surfacearranged at an opposite side to the image planerelative to the first reflective surfaceand a second transmissive surfacearranged at the image planeside relative to the second reflective surfaceand that the flux of light entering the transparent medium Lgoes into it by way of the first transmissive surfaceso as to be reflected to the opposite side to the image planeby the first reflective surfaceand then to the image planeside by the second reflective surfaceto form an optical path before going out from the transparent medium Lat the image planeside by way of the second transmissive surfacein the order of forward ray tracing.
