Abstract | ||||
In this present paper, we present a theoretical analysis relating the type, power and the maximum number of the identical elements in the input surface of the array, with its size, flux transfer efficiency onto the synthetic image plane and the synthetic image quality. The numerical analysis results enabled the design of two different planar thin-lens spatial integrator arrays with optimized geometrical parameters and with different positive and negative power values. A computer program has been developed to investigate the performance of each array. The percentage of the outgoing rays, the average transmittance of the array elements, the image width and the uniformity of the transferred energy, have been evaluated and compared. | ||||
