    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Lensless imaging using Fresnel-Dirac sampling does not create true multiple images in principle. However, well-designed filters can produce quasi-multiple images under specific conditions, confirmed by geometric optics.

  • Derivation of explicit formulas for quasi-multiple images.
  • Interpretation using geometric optics principles.

    • Main Results:

    • The study concludes that true multiple-image formation does not occur in principle.
    • Reasonably good image arrays can be achieved with properly designed sampling filters.
    • The appearance of these image arrays is linked to the Montgomery zone-plate condition for self-imaging.
    • Derived formulas for quasi-multiple images show differences from prior literature.

    Conclusions:

    • The phenomenon observed is not true multiple imaging but rather quasi-multiple images.
    • Proper filter design is crucial for obtaining useful image arrays.
    • The findings are supported by a geometric optics interpretation, validating their acceptability.
