Metamaterials, metalenses and beyond
For thousands of years, humans have been making optical components by melting, casting, grinding, and polishing commonplace materials. Manufacturing techniques borrowed from the semiconductor industry are now being used to make ultrathin ‘metalenses’, which could slim down cameras still further, and even allow handheld devices to sense all kinds of things beyond the visible spectrum. Dr Eric Plum from the University of Southampton explains how these have developed.

Abstract

For thousands of years, humans have been making optical components by melting, casting, grinding, and polishing commonplace materials. Manufacturing techniques borrowed from the semiconductor industry are now being used to make ultrathin ‘metalenses’, which could slim down cameras still further, and even allow handheld devices to sense all kinds of things beyond the visible spectrum. Dr Eric Plum from the University of Southampton explains how these have developed.
