HIGH-MAGNIFICATION PHOTOGRAPHY EXPLOITING POLARIZING BEAMSPLITTERS, WAVE PLATES, AND REFLECTORS

Described herein are systems and methods for enabling small high-magnification cameras to operate in low-light (e.g., night-time) conditions. These camera systems can include use of polarizing beamsplitters, waveplates, and reflectors to enable a long path of light in a camera. Also described are me...

Zusammenfassung:	Described herein are systems and methods for enabling small high-magnification cameras to operate in low-light (e.g., night-time) conditions. These camera systems can include use of polarizing beamsplitters, waveplates, and reflectors to enable a long path of light in a camera. Also described are methods to enable a single camera to operate at two light paths and two focal lengths simultaneously. Two focal lengths (two magnifications) can be supported within a single camera or imaging device.
