Abstract
Light transport has been analyzed extensively, in both the primal domain and the frequency domain; the latter provides intuition of effects introduced by free space propagation and by optical elements, and allows for optimal designs of computational cameras for tailored, efficient information capture. Here, we relax the common assumption that the speed of light is infinite and analyze free space propagation in the frequency domain considering spatial, temporal, and angular light variation. Using this analysis, we derive analytic expressions for cross-dimensional information transfer and show how this can be exploited for designing a new, time-resolved bare sensor imaging system.
