Ultrathin Metalens Captures Chiral, Spectral Images Simultaneously
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 4, 2016 — An ultracompact planar lens has been engineered to simultaneously form two images of the same object, with opposite helicity and within a single field-of-view. The chiral and spectral properties of the object can be simultaneously probed across the visible spectrum with only the ultrathin lens and a camera. The ultrathin surface of the lens can form an image and at the same time resolve polarization and spectral information of the object, thus integrating the functions of polarization and...
