OPTICAL SYSTEM FOR HOLOGRAPHIC VIDEO CAMERA Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G03B7/99 G02B5/32 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: optical system for a holographic video camera includes an optical waveguide with an input holographic element on its surface, a lens, a visible radiation detector, an infrared radiation detector and a photoelectric converter connected to said detectors. The input holographic element is configured to split input radiation into visible and infrared parts. The optical waveguide is configured to transfer the visible part of radiation towards the visible radiation detector and the infrared part towards the infrared radiation detector. The lens is configured to form an image of an object through the optical waveguide and the holographic element on the detector. The photoelectric converter is configured to determine the phase difference between output signals, which are radiation intensity distribution in images obtained from visible and infrared radiation detectors.

EFFECT: possibility of using a single lens for infrared and visible radiation, possibility of remote formation of a depth map in order to form a pseudo three-dimensional image.
