Background:

Traditional stereo cameras often require two separate lenses and sensors, increasing bulk and complexity.
Compact 3D imaging is crucial for minimally invasive procedures and confined industrial inspections.
Micro-optic components offer potential for miniaturization in optical systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a compact stereo endoscopic camera using a microprism array (MPA) and a single image sensor.
To demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating and integrating MPAs for stereo image generation.
To evaluate the 3D imaging capabilities of the MPA-based camera.

Main Methods:

Monolithic fabrication of microprism arrays (MPAs) via two-step photolithography and geometry-guided resist reflow.
Replication of MPAs using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) replica molding onto a glass substrate.
Integration of the MPA onto a single camera module for stereo image capture.

Main Results:

Successful fabrication and integration of the MPA with a single camera module.
Demonstration of image splitting into two stereo images by the MPA.
Observation of binocular disparities for objects at varying distances, confirming 3D imaging capability.

Conclusions:

The microprism array-based stereo endoscopic camera offers a compact and effective solution for 3D imaging.
The fabrication method is suitable for producing high-quality MPAs for optical integration.
This technology has potential applications in medical, industrial, and military fields requiring compact 3D visualization.
