Abstract
Optical apparatus for use with an image capture device having an optical input and an image sensor (22) defining a principal optical axis therebetween, the apparatus being configured to provide, via said input, a plurality of substantially parallel, spaced-apart optical beams to said image sensor (22), and comprising:
- a first optical unit (26) comprising a plurality of optical elements (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20), at least a first one of said optical elements being a first refractive element (12, 14, 18, 20) for refracting an optical beam incident thereon through substantially 90°; anda plurality of focusing lenses (lens0, lens1, lens2, lens3, lens4, lens5), each focusing lens being associated with a respective optical element and being configured to direct a respective incident optical beam thereon;wherein the focusing lens associated with said refractive element is arranged and configured to direct an incident optical beam thereon at substantially 90° to said principal optical axis, and the refractive element is arranged and configured such that, in use, the resultant refracted optical beam is substantially parallel to said principal optical axis as it reaches said image sensor (24).
