Plasmonic ommatidia for lensless compound-eye vision

L. C. Kogos, Y. Li, et al.

Discover the innovation behind a lensless planar architecture for a compound-eye camera that employs plasmonic nanostructures for directional photodetection. This groundbreaking research by Leonard C. Kogos, Yunzhe Li, Jianing Liu, Yuyu Li, Lei Tian, and Roberto Paiella reveals techniques for reconstructing high-quality images, paving the way for ultrathin cameras with expansive fields of view.

Abstract
This paper introduces a lensless planar architecture for a compound-eye camera, where each pixel of an image sensor array is coated with plasmonic nanostructures to enable directional photodetection. The device design, fabrication, and testing are described, along with computational imaging techniques used to reconstruct high-quality images from the sensor data. This approach allows for ultrathin, planar cameras with wide fields of view.
