ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to determining a matching between discrete optical elements, such as an SLM and a CCD, and continuous optical systems, subsystems and/or elements, such as Fourier lens and individual lenslet of lenslet arrays. Exemplary processing performed by such matched systems includes discrete transforms, such as the discrete Fourier transform, the discrete cosine transform and the discrete wavelet transform.
