Abstract
A compact and modular optical system that employs gradient-refractive- index rod lenses to image arrays of Lambertian sources is characterize d both experimentally and by ray-tracing simulations. A hybrid optical system that incorporates additional microlens arrays to reduce transm ittance losses and aberrations is also modeled, and the two systems ar e compared.
