When taking physics in undergrad and thinking about how to make space telescopes that can image exoplanets. The idea of a lens that can capture all the information contained in the photons in a nanometer size region space would allow this but until now I had no idea they actually had something that can do this. This would enable the mass production of a fleet of telescopes that can collectively image incredibly small and far away things.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

There's already talk of using the sun as a gravitational lens to magnify a point far behind it in the same way we get gravitational lensing in deep space images. If one could someday locally manipulate gravity, one could focus the light to a small point made of meta-lenses and extrapolate a ridiculous amount of information that we'd never be able to see without physically being there.

[@homo-sapiens-dubium]

sadly, you'd still need X amount of photons, which would require a _huge_ collection surface for this kind of project. I doubt that inferometry based optics would be more efficient in "collecting" light than a plain mirror? An interesting idea for this project is to use the sun as a gravitational lens. There is an interesting paper from JPL on this, presented by this "friendly neighborhood astronomer Prof. of astronomy youtuber", forgot his name though...

[@xstrxd]

Lately I've been wondering if the sort of tech used in phased array radars and to steer wifi/cellular beams is applicable to visible light. What i'm wondering is this mostly based on the same principle?

[@atmel9077]

This video and the company's website present it as an obscure new technology... from what I understand, this is a holographic lens, holograms were invented in the 60s and have to be made on photographic plates, the real innovation here is to make the hologram using photolithography. Another possible innovation is to control both the amplitude and phase of the interference pattern, making this an in-between of holograms and spatial light modulators, and would allow to remove the conjugate image. The big problem is that such a lens can only work with a single wavelength of light and can only be used with laser illumination. Could be used for machine vision applications, but it's certainly not going to replace camera lenses anytime soon. The video illustrates the patterns of the lens with tiny colored shapes... nope, the pattern is probably concentric circles, what is called a fresnel zone plate.

[@atmel9077]

@@xstrxd Yes, it's called a hologram, and it's sort of an optical phased array. The "beam-steering" properties of holograms allows them to record images of 3-dimensional objects. Holograms were also used in the 60s and 70s to reconstruct images taken by radar satellites

So a much more impressive use than the camera of a smartphone, would be for optical computing. When using photons, there's a MUCH larger processing bandwidth achieved due to the different wavelengths can use independent of each other. The different pieces have been slowly being developed for a while now, and hopefully can soon be brought together.

Each one a mini telescope. Then package them in into a VLBI orbital observatory. Also I'm not sure about the maximum angle, but since silicon is invisible to some IR, you could make a Sensor + support-silicon + metalense stacked die for very small cameras?

Light doesn't scale. When it comes to cameras and lenses (or optical mirrors) there is no substitute for size.

Metamaterial optical lenses aren't new.

See the Wikipedia entry: Superlens. The first microscope Superlens using a metamaterial increased the resolving power of a light microscope from 200 nanometers to 100 mn in 1981. Putting together the mathematics, computer power, and fabrication facilities to design and build Metalenz's metamaterial lenses will change many facets of optics. The prediction of size and mass creates a whole new kind of camera.
