Figure 3. Ray tracing of how a point in space at position A only reflects light that is freely transmitted by a single optical tube, whilst a point in space at position B is freely transmitted by an increasing number of optical tubes. In a 2 dimensional optical array the number of optical units that transmit light from a given point in space increases as a polynomial series where N (Number tubes viewing point in space) = 3x2 +3x + 1, where x is distance of point from the mechano-optical device. |
