Wide Field-Of-View Metasurface Optics

Field-of-view (FOV) is an important performance metric of optical systems. In traditional optics, expanding the FOV necessarily involve increasing the number of optical elements at the expense of system size and complexity. Metasurfaces offer a promising solution to overcome this limitation, enabling wide-FOV systems with reduced element count while suppressing optical aberrations. In this talk, I will discuss the basic theory guiding the design of wide-FOV imaging and projection optics, and demonstrate wafer-scale, industry-standard foundry manufacturing of wide-angle metasurface optics for applications spanning imaging, sensing and display.
