摘要
An image processing method is proposed to realize polarizer-free imaging of liquid crystal lens. Images I(l )and I-nl are captured sequentially in the lens and non-lens states of the LC lens, respectively, and are used to generate a final high contrast image. The proposal is tested by experiments. Clear and well focused images are obtained, even though no polarizer is employed in the imaging system. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America
