  • This paper overviews the research situation and development prospects of artificial compound eye optical systems on the basis of their advantages of small volumes, light weights, large field-of-view and high sensitivity. It introduces the structures and classification of insects' compound eyes, and describes the research development of artificial compound eyes according to the design of artificial imaging systems with curved and plane surfaces. Then, it gives structures, models and imaging abilities of typical compound eye imaging systems at home and abroad, and summarizes their usages and merits in different fields. Finally, the preparing techniques of artificial compound eyes are analyzed. Analyzed results point out that the functions of compound eye optical systems are dependent on the fabrication of the microelements, the super fine machining is a fine and effective micromachining method and it has the potentials to fabricate higher accuracy lens arrays and improve application abilities.
