A new artificial superposition compound eye model is presented based on micro-lens array. In all compound eyes,it has the advantages of small volume,light weight,wide FOV,high sensitivity and much higher energy utilization ratio. Nevertheless,its structure is relatively complicated,especially the GRIN medium in the crystalline cone. Therefore,the modeling,analysis and fabrication for it are burdensome. In the established model,the GRIN is replaced by a curved micro-lens array. Thus,the modeling,analysis and optimization process are simple,and the components of artificial superposition compound eye are easy to be fabricated. The system is modeled by ZEMAX software. With the help of raytracing,its principle is analyzed,and the sensitivity comparison between the superposition compound eye and the apposition compound eye is done. The model's validity is proven.
