Abstract
An imaging system for imaging a range of field points over on- and off-axis fields includes an image sensor for capturing image data, and first and second optical elements that are spaced apart and cooperate to image light at the image sensor. The first and second optical elements are configured to jointly modify phase of the light transmitted therethrough such that point-spread functions ('PSFs') corresponding to the range field points are substantially uniform over on- and off-axis fields.
