Design route and optical analysis of curved compound-eyes towards thermal reflow and hot embossing fabrication processes

摘要

Compound-eyes have several characters such as big vision field angle, small volume and multi-channels imaging. Therefore, it is applicable in the field of machine vision. Based on the thermal reflow and hot embossing technology, this paper put forward a new route to design the compound-eyes imaging system and analysis the optical aberration by use of ray tracing. Furthermore, in order to getting the optimal imaging ability, non-homogeneous micro-lens array is adopted as the compound-eyes structure. The ray-tracing results show that the design scheme can reach the expected requirements. Therefore, this paper can guide the design of compound-eyes imaging system.
