Abstract:
An image capture device includes, in part, N optical transmit antennas forming a first array, N phase modulators each associated with and adapted to control a phase of a different one of the transmit antennas, M optical receive antennas forming a second array, M phase modulators each associated with and adapted to control a phase of a different one of the receive antennas, and a controller adapted to control phases of the first and second plurality of phase modulators to capture an image of an object. The first and second arrays may be one-dimensional arrays positioned substantially orthogonal to one another. Optionally, the first array is a circular array of transmitters, and the second array is a one-dimensional array of receivers positioned in the same plane as that in which the circular array of the transmitters is disposed.
