Computational Metaoptics Enable Broadband Imaging Applications
Although camera technology has advanced considerably in the last few decades, there are constant demands for higher resolution, wider field of view, and full-color operation for many consumer, medical, industrial, and military applications. At the same time, these systems require lower weight, smaller size, and reduced cost while conforming to tight manufacturing tolerances. This has made state-of-the-art cameras into incredibly complicated systems, intricately optimized to balance complexity and performance. In many cases, these demands cannot all be simultaneously satisfied, as existing refractive lenses are often bulky, expensive, and subject to manufacturing constraints that limit performance.
