Abstract
A prism module for enabling a large field of view high resolution sampling of incoming rays, the prism module including a plurality of elongated prisms disposed about a central axis, each of the prisms including a fore surface; an aft surface; and a reflecting surface connected on a first edge to the fore surface and connected on a second edge to the aft surface, wherein the fore surface is configured to receive the incoming light rays orthogonally disposed with respect to the fore surface, the reflecting surface configured to reflect the incoming light rays to cause outgoing light rays to exit at a right angle through the aft surface to form an image with a maximum distortion not recognizable by a human eye.
