Abstract

A novel multichannel optical imaging system capable of high-resolution imaging across a wide field of view (FOV) of 7x7 mm² with a 4x magnification. Comprised by microlens arrays (MLAs) and micro-aperture arrays, our design circumvents the traditional trade-off between resolution and field size. Each channel of the system is optically isolated by microaperture arrays acting as field stops, ensuring high-quality imaging without crosstalk. A 5x5 step micro-scanning technique extends the imaging capability to the entire FOV. Experimental validation of the prototype, which employs commercially available MLAs and fabricated micro-aperture arrays, demonstrates agreement with theoretical predictions, achieving clear imaging without the need for a large sensor. This approach promises significant advancements in applications requiring detailed imaging over large areas.
