Linsenoptik
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
Hinter einem entspiegelten Abschlussglas liegt die Linsenoptik mit nur einem einzelnen LED-Lichtpunkt.
I have found "Linsenoptik" translated as "lens optic" and "lens optics", and am not sure whether either is correct in English. Can anyone explain to me what exactly a "Linsenoptik" is and whether it just means the same as "Linse".
TIA.

I think "lens optic" is a tautology. A lens is an optic.
optic n
any of the elements (such as lenses, mirrors, or light guides) of an optical instrument or system —usually used in plural
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/optic
Also, I know Linguee is not the most reliable reference because it scoops up often poor-quality translations, but Linsenoptik is sometimes translated simply as lens here:

: I agree; they're just referring to the lens itself.

lense optic
I've seen the term 'lense optic' used frequently for LED lighing.
Here's an example:

Sorry for the typo, it should be "lens".

: This is a 70-page document, so I haven't found your reference, but the translation doesn't inspire much confidence if it misspells "lens".

: "Lens", not "lense" - and your example is a translation.
