  • To achieve image reconstruction that is insensitive to array truncation.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of short waveguide interruptions (waveguide segmentation).
  • Utilizing waveguide segmentation as a focusing lens for discretized light.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of self-imaging properties in spatially finite waveguide arrays.
