Abstract

Three-dimensional integral imaging and display systems, employing optical arrangements, require efficient large aperture transmission elements. The employment of two tier optics in conjunction with microlens focusing screens and two tier imaging combinations provide these and in parallel retain the angular and lateral resolution required. The properties of superlens combinations and their use for the control of axial magnification in 3-D spatial imaging is described. Attention is drawn to the advantage of using segmented lens forms due to their capacity to achieve a scaled image suitable for electronic or photographic capture.
