Abstract

A lighting fixture utilizing a spatially fixed light source and a multi-layered hologram as a lens element. The hologram receives light from the source and directs it to a task area. The layers of the lens element are responsive to light of one or more wavelengths of interest and varying angles of incident radiation so as to diffract light from the source toward the task area.
