Imaging with parallel ray-rotation sheets
arXiv:0809.4347 · doi:10.1364/OE.16.020826
Abstract
A ray-rotation sheet consists of miniaturized optical components that function - ray optically - as a homogeneous medium that rotates the local direction of transmitted light rays around the sheet normal by an arbitrary angle [A. C. Hamilton et al., arXiv:0809.2646 (2008)]. Here we show that two or more parallel ray-rotation sheets perform imaging between two planes. The image is unscaled and un-rotated. No other planes are imaged. When seen through parallel ray-rotation sheets, planes that are not imaged appear rotated, whereby the rotation angle changes with the ratio between the observer's and the object plane's distance from the sheets.
