Alternatively, where the contour extraction enhancement system comprises a compound superlens 10, the compound superlens 10 comprises nanostructures; the phase distribution of the compound superlens 10 satisfies:
Figure BDA0003775589970000071
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0003775589970000072
representing the phase profile of the compound superlens 10; lambda 1 Represents an operating wavelength of the compound superlens 10, such as a visible wavelength or an infrared wavelength; r is a radical of hydrogen 1 Indicating the distance from the center of the compound superlens 10 to its surface nanostructures (i.e., the particular location of the nanostructures on the compound superlens 10); f. of 1 Represents the focal length of the compound superlens 10; l represents a tangential direction of the position of the nanostructure with the center of the composite superlens 10 as the center of the circle, for example, a tangential direction of a circle made by taking the center of the composite superlens 10 as the center of the circle and a connecting line of the nanostructure and the center of the composite superlens 10 as a radius is l.
In the embodiment of the present invention, any one of two sides of the compound superlens 10 (for example, the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the compound superlens 10) is provided with a plurality of nanostructures, which may be arranged in an array; for example, an array of nanostructures may be disposed image-wise of the composite superlens 10 (as shown in FIG. 2 on the right-hand side surface of the composite superlens 10, i.e., on its light-exit-side surface).
For example, the composite superlens 10 with the phase distribution can make light rays constituting the incident image undergo corresponding phase modulation, such as profile extraction and enhancement, after entering, and exit from the light exit side of the composite superlens 10; wherein, in the case that the phase distribution of the compound superlens 10 satisfies the above relation (1-1), the contour extraction enhancement system can extract the contour of the incident image and enhance the contour.
The embodiment of the utility model provides a under the condition that adopts a slice super lens (compound super lens 10 promptly), can carry out phase modulation (if carry out phase modulation to the light that constitutes incident image) to incident image through the phase place distribution that this compound super lens 10 satisfied for this compound super lens 10 can draw and strengthen the profile in this incident image. The contour extraction enhancement system only has one super lens, and is simple, light, thin and low in cost.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, in the case where the contour extraction enhancement system includes the 4f mirror group 20, the phase distributions of the first and third superlenses 201 and 203 are identical and different from the phase distribution of the second superlens 202; the first superlens 201 can convert the incident image from a time domain signal into a frequency domain signal, and emits the frequency domain signal to the second superlens 202; the second superlens 202 can convert the frequency domain signal from low frequency to high frequency and emit the frequency domain signal to the third superlens 203; the third superlens 203 can restore the frequency domain signal converted to the high frequency to a time domain signal and emit the time domain signal.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an in, the super lens of three pieces that 4f group 20 includes respectively correspond a phase place distribution, and the phase place distribution of every super lens can realize different phase modulation effects.

Since the phase distribution of the second superlens 202 is different from the phase distributions of the first superlens 201 and the third superlens 203, the phase modulation effect performed by the second superlens 202 is also different from the phase modulation effects performed by the first superlens 201 and the third superlens 203.
In the embodiment of the present invention, although the phase modulation effects achieved by the first superlens 201 and the third superlens 203 are different, the phase distribution of the first superlens 201 and the phase distribution of the third superlens 203 are used to convert the incident image (e.g., light field) in a pair of reciprocal states (e.g., fourier transform from time domain to frequency domain and inverse fourier transform from frequency domain to time domain), so the phase distribution of the first superlens 201 and the phase distribution of the third superlens 203 may be the same, that is, both phase distributions may satisfy both fourier transform and inverse fourier transform.
The embodiment of the utility model provides a under the condition that adopts three super lens (being 4f mirror group 20), can be through the phase distribution that each super lens in this 4f mirror group 20 satisfied respectively, carry out phase modulation in proper order to incident image (if carry out 3 times phase modulation in proper order to light or light field that constitute incident image), make this 4f mirror group 20 can extract and strengthen the profile in this incident image; the contour extraction enhancement system is simple in structure, light and thin in size and low in cost.
