details of simulation (pdf)

without angle limiter

with angle limiter


The field of view of each GRIN lens is 6 times larger than the angle between neighboring GRIN lenses
(Six images are superposed at every point on the image)

movie (mpeg-1)

 angle between two GRIN lenses is changed from 20 to1 degrees
