ABSTRACT:
An optical system is coupled between a one-dimensional line image and a two-dimensional detector array. The line image is segmented and reimaged onto respective image cells of the detector array, each image cell being a row of detector cells. The optical system positionally segments the line image into lengths of a predetermined length. The predetermined length of the segments optically fit within the width of image cells within the array. The optical system reimages the line segments to image cell positions on the detector array. The optical system preferably employs diffractive (binary) optic elements.
