Wide Field-Of-View Metasurface Optics—From Fundamentals to Applications

Wide field-of-view (FOV) is a much coveted features in many optical systems with wide applications ranging from automotive sensing to biomedical imaging. In this talk, we will start by introducing our work formulating the analytical design frameworks for wide FOV metasurfaces with two distinctive and yet related configurations: imaging and projection optics. We will then proceed to discuss several device implementations guided by the analytically derived designs with applications spanning 3-D sensing, extended depth-of-field imaging, and full-color projection display.
