Abstract

The correspondence between the linear integral transform and the ray-transfer matrix of a diffraction-free first-order optical system is used to describe the ray trajectory and to study the point spread function (PSF) in an active GRIN microlens characterized by a complex refractive index. The results show that the active microlens is regarded as a lossless microlens with a Gaussian mask induced by the complex refractive index. Comparison between light propagation effects in passive and active GRIN microlens is outlined.
