Abstract
An imaging apparatus () for generating an image signal from incident light with higher spatial frequencies of the incident light limited to reduce undersampling artifacts. Apparatus () includes a detector plane () for generating the image signal from an array of photosites, () and an optical section having a relatively thin lithium niobate rhomboidal filter () interposed in the path of the incident light so as to produce a blurred image on the photosites. A filter configuration is disclosed which produces four spots () at the imaging sensors () positioned at the corners of a rhombus.
