摘要
We describe a new paradigm for designing hybrid imaging systems. These imaging systems use optics with a special aspheric surface to code the image so that the point-spread function or the modulation transfer function has specified characteristics. Signal processing then decodes the detected image. The coding can be done so that the depth of focus can be extended. This allows the manufacturing tolerance to be reduced, focus-related aberrations to be controlled, and imaging systems to be constructed with only one optical element plus some signal processing.
