Abstract
Motivated by the need for compactness in relaying images, the idea of using microlenslet arrays is investigated. Microlenslet arrays have been quite extensively used in scanning devices, and not in forming images. Various possible arrangements of microlenslet arrays and associated baflles are considered and their role on image quality presented. Findings through software simulations clearly demonstrate the trade-offs between image quality and compactness.
