Theoretical analysis for three-dimensional integral imaging systems with double devices

Appl Opt. 2002 Aug 10;41(23):4856-65. doi: 10.1364/ao.41.004856.

Abstract

By adoption of double-device systems, integral imaging can be enhanced in image depth, viewing angle, or image size. Theoretical analyses are done for the double-image-plane integral imaging systems. Both ray optics analysis and wave optics analysis confirm that the double-device integral imaging systems can pick up and display images at two separate image planes. The analysis results are also valuable in the understanding of the conventional integral imaging systems for image positions off the central depth plane.
