A method for producing a 3D image includes providing a pixel-by-pixel map over a preselected aperture of relative phases for coherent light scattered by or transmitted through a desired scene. The method includes positioning micro-mirrors of a reconfigurable mirror array to produce reflected light whose wave front has the pixel-by-pixel map over the preselected aperture in response to the array being illuminated with a coherent light beam. The method includes illuminating the reconfigurable mirror array with the coherent light beam to enable producing a 3D image of the desired scene.
