NTT Corporation develops metasurface able to split out primary colors without filters.
Researchers have shown that newly designed pixel-scale metasurface lenses -; flat surfaces that use nanostructures to manipulate light -; can be used to make imaging sensors that are roughly three times more sensitive than those used today. The new sensor architecture could enable digital cameras that can image faster or in conditions with less light.
Newly developed pixel-scale metasurface lenses—flat surfaces that modify light using nanostructures—have been demonstrated to help create imaging sensors that are about three times more sensitive than those now in use. The new sensor architecture may allow digital cameras to image faster or in low-light circumstances.
