Pixel-Scale Metalenses can be Used to Make Highly Sensitive Imaging Sensors

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.
