Abstract
In this paper we propose a method to design a freeform lens including the effect of Fresnel reflections on the transmitted intensity. This method is elaborated for a lens with one freeform surface shaping a far-field target from a point source or collimated input beam. It combines the optical mapping with the energy balance incorporating the loss due to Fresnel reflections, which leads to a generalized Monge-Amp\`ere equation. We adapt a least-squares solver from previous research to solve the model numerically. This is then tested with a theoretical example and a test case related to road lighting.
