This paper describes optical components developed for a three-dimensional imaging system based on integral photography. A variety of lens arrays with differing specifications were required and, by suitable choices and refinements to manufacturing techniques, lens arrays were developed specifically for various stages of the imaging system. Major achievements include an image transfer screen 300 mm × 300 mm with 125 µm pitch lenses formed in photoresist and high-quality replica arrays with a 100% fill factor and pitch value of 850 µm moulded from diamond-machined masters. Correction: In the previously published version of this paper, there were three occasions where the incorrect unit "nm" was printed instead of "mm". The first occurrence was in the abstract (which has been corrected above), and the other two were on page S19 where the text should read as "300 mm × 300 mm" and "150 mm × 150 mm". This error is reported separately as a Corrigendum in the next issue and the full text files attached below have been corrected.
