One Silicon Surface Sees the Full Mid-Wave Infrared Band
A two-centimeter hyperboloid metalens plus computation recovered images across 3 to 5 microns after adaptation from four captures.
Summary
A two-centimeter hyperboloid metalens plus computation recovered images across 3 to 5 microns after adaptation from four captures.
The single-layer silicon metasurface leaves chromatic dispersion for a reconstruction model to untangle rather than engineering a complex achromatic profile. The authors report broadband imaging across the full mid-wave infrared band after adapting on four captures. This is a laboratory imaging result, not a deployed sensor claim.
