ABSTRACT:
A compact array imager including image generation apparatus providing a real image at an inlet of an optical image waveguide. The real image being reflected a plurality of times within the optical image waveguide by diffractive optical elements that magnify and filter the real image and produce a virtual image at a viewing aperture The imager further includes electronics mounted on the sides of the optical image waveguide and coupled to the image generation apparatus by embedded molded signal waveguides for receiving signals representative of an image and controlling the apparatus to generate the image.
