Flat lenses offer a way to minimize the optical aberrations and astigmatisms that conventional spherical lenses can be prone to, and can potentially open up new applications that traditional lens are ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components ...

[The Thought Emporium] has been fascinated by holograms for a long time, and in all sorts of different ways. His ultimate goal right now is to work up to creating holograms using chocolate, but along ...

The prototype uses a Canon EOS R10 with a Dual Pixel CMOS sensor, which allows every pixel to participate in phase detection.

With the development of photonic chips and nano-optics, the old ground glass lenses can't keep up in the race toward miniaturization. In the search for a suitable replacement, a team from the ...
