ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for de-emphasizing low spatial frequencies in a two-dimensional optical imaging system. The apparatus (10) includes a source of incoherent light (12) adapted to be directed toward a source of optical information (14); first (17) and second (19) coplanar strips of pupils (16, 18) for transmitting light from the source of optical information (14), the strips (17, 19) being parallel to one another, the pupils (16) of the first strip being randomly distributed therein and circular in shape, the pupils (18) of the second strip being randomly distributed therein and ring shaped; a lens system (20) positioned to focus light passing through the strips (17, 19) of pupils (16, 18) onto an output plane (22); and a Ronchi grating (24) positioned between the lens (20) system and the output plane (22) and parallel thereto at a distance from the output plane (22) such as to provide interlacing of the images through the two strips of pupils, the grid lines (25 ) of the grating being parallel to the strips (17, 18) of pupils.
