Abstract
Systems, methods and devices are implemented for optical imaging. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an optical imaging apparatus utilizes a laser-based coherent light source, and an optical device to pass grated light along an illumination direction from the laser-based coherent light source toward an object. Additionally, an illumination modulator is provided for changing angles at which the light, moving toward the object plane, reaches the object plane, and the light reaches the object plane at different angles. Further, the apparatus can include circuitry to process image-based data in response to and based on the light reaching the object plane at different angles for a user-viewable image of an object in proximity of the object plane.
