Multiaperture Optical System Research.
Abstract
A lens corrleates unambiguously one object point with one and only one image point. In the case of multiaperture optics one object point may be observed by several eyelets, which in turn may create disks, rings, or even irregularly shaped figures as image elements - corresponding to the one object point. The correlation albeit being non-imaging is unambigous but also multiple, allowing verification by coincidence. The advantage of multiaperture optics are: Small size; Ruggedness; Mass production; Large field of view; and No focussing required. It was the object of the effort reported here to explore if such a device could be built and to predict the performance of such a device by computer model.
