Metalens-enabled wide field-of-view imaging and sensing

With their recognized advantages such as system-level size, weight and power (SWaP) benefits, minimal monochromatic aberration, polarization discrimination capacity, and low-cost at scale, metasurfaces have emerged as a transformative optics technology. Optical distortion, an important metric in many optical design specifications, has however rarely been discussed in the context of metalens optics. Here we present we present a generic approach for on-demand distortion correction using wide field-of-view (FOV) compound metalenses.
