Abstract

A Fourier transform lens assembly suited for use in an optical information processor includes a first lens group having a positive power, a second lens group having a negative power disposed on one side of the first lens group, and a third lens group having a positive power disposed on the side opposite to the first lens group with respect to the second lens group. The distance between a front focal plane and a back focal plane of the Fourier transform lens assembly is less than two times a focal length of the Fourier transform lens assembly.
