Ce [...] dispositif comporte notamment une lentille en plastique dont la face arrière (non exposée directement au Soleil) est recouverte d'une couche réfléchissante. Le rayonnement incident est ainsi réfracté sur la face avant de la lentille (dirigée vers le Soleil), puis réfléchi sur sa face arrière, avant de se reporter à nouveau sur la face avant; ce va-et-vient correspond au mécanisme dit de réflexion totale interne, qui résulte de la différence entre les densités optiques des milieux traversés. 4, record 2, French, - surface%20r%C3%A9fl%C3%A9chissante
