摘要: A multimode planar optical waveguide of homogeneous refractive index can produce real one-dimensional self-images by interference the modes. We discuss image formation, linespread function, and its apodisation optimization. Under optimum conditions, theoretical linear resolution reach 0.25(W λf)1/2, where W is slab thickness λf wavelength in material.
