Perfect imaging with planar interfaces
Abstract
We describe the most general homogenous, planar, light-ray-direction-changing sheet that performs one-to-one imaging between object space and image space. This is a non-trivial special case (of the sheet being homogenous) of an earlier result [J. Courtial, Opt. Commun.282, 2480 (2009)]. Such a sheet can be realised, approximately, with generalised confocal lenslet arrays.
