The segmented planar imager is an advanced optical interferometric telescope with a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). It provides a significant reduction in size, weight, and power consumption as compared to traditional optical interferometry. In this article, we propose the combination of a single PIC with a two-dimensional (2D) lens array to achieve single-PIC imaging.

A new optical interferometric telescope, also known as the Segmented Planar Imaging Detector for Electro-optical Reconnaissance (SPIDER)(Duncan et al.

The sensors' spatially modulated arrangement of a micropolarization array results in loss of spatial resolution and instantaneous field-of-overview errors. Polarization demosaicking (PDM) methods are often utilized to address these drawbacks and achieve the goal of recovering missing polarization information.
