Harvard SEAS develops 10cm glass metalens for astronomical imaging

The Spring edition of VISION Focus is now availabel for downloand. Grab your free issue here.

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a 10 cm-diameter glass metalens that can image the sun, moon and even distant nebulae at high resolution. It is the first all-glass, large-scale metalens in the visible wavelength that can be mass produced using conventional CMOS fabrication technology. “The ability to accurately control the size of tens of billions of nanopillars over an unprecedentedly large flat lens using semiconductor foundry processes opens exciting new opportunities for space science,” said flat lens pioneer Federico Capasso, the Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics at SEAS (page 12).

Also in this edition:

  • 22nd EMVA Business Conference arriving in Gdansk, Poland between 13 to 15 June
  • Stereolabs and Syslogic partner to advance robotic applications
