We construct combinations of three skew ideal lenses whose mapping between object and image space corresponds to a rotation of the object space around a common intersection line of all included lenses. The angle of image rotation Δθ can be set arbitrarily within a range (0, 2π) by tuning the parameters of the lenses. The resulting skew-lens image rotator could form the basis of novel applications, e.g. simulating curved spaces.

However, in recent proposals for lens-based transformation-optics devices [Opt. Express26, 17872 (2018)OPEXFF1094-408710.
