Currently, three-dimensional (3D) light field displays (LFDs) based on integral imaging (InIm) are one of the most interesting technologies in the field of 3D displays. The InIm principle consists of two key stages: the capture and reconstruction of the light field describing a specific 3D scene. However, these stages represent two distinct processes requiring different tools and resources, making the evaluation of InIm-based 3D LFDs a laborious and time consuming task. To address those problems, we propose an end-to-end simulation model developed in the commercial lens design software Ansys Zemax OpticStudio, that integrates the two stages of the InIm to facilitate the evaluation of the entire 3D image formation process. This work aims to provide a preliminary solution by ensuring that the targeted specifications are checked and achieved before embarking on the development of a costly and time-consuming prototype.
