Abstract
This report forms a part of the systematic investigation on the imaging behaviour of a birefringent lens sandwiched between two linear polarizers. Since an appreciable amount of light energy is absorbed in the polarizers, an analytical formula for the light throughput of the proposed system has been developed. A comparative study of the performance of the said system with an isotropic lens of reduced size which give equal light levels at the output side has been performed.
