INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
However, a solution is in hand.This solution comes from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, where a group of researchers have just
invented smartphone camera lenses that are just a few micrometers thick
scientific paper titled "Broadband lightweight flat lenses for long-wave infrared imaging", which describes a truly tiny optical lens
It can fulfill all the functions of a thicker smartphone lens by effectively creating numerous tiny structures that bounce light to the
sensor, working together to act as a lens.A super-thin smartphone lens sounds great, but how will this actually transform your camera
experience? We spoke to Rajesh Menon, an electrical and computer engineering associate professor at the University of Utah, to better
In other words, the lens designer will specify [what they want] and our algorithms will turn those specifications into flat lens designs."
risk is increased significantly if the lens in use is a twentieth the thickness of a human hair, so our final question was about the frailty
