The present disclosure relates to a detector system for imaging an optical signal received by a graded index (GRIN) optical element to account for known variations in a graded index distribution of the GRIN optical element. The detector system incorporates a plurality of optical detector elements configured to receive optical rays received by the GRIN optical element at specific locations on a plane of the GRIN optical element. Ray tracing software is configured to receive and map the optical rays to a plurality of additional specific locations on the plane based on the known variations in the graded index distribution of the GRIN optical element. A processor uses algorithms for diagonalization of a linear system matrix to determine information on both an intensity and an angle of the received optical rays at each one of the plurality of specific locations on the plane.
