    摘要: Metasurfaces and systems including metasurfaces for imaging and methods of imaging are described. Such metasurfaces may be formed on a substrate from a plurality of posts. The metasurfaces are configured to be optically active over a wavelength range and in certain embodiments are configured to form lenses. In particular, the metasurfaces described herein may be configured to focus light passed through the metasurface in an extended depth of focus. Accordingly, the disclosed metasurfaces are generally suitable for generating color without or with minimal chromatic aberrations, for example, in conjunction with computational reconstruction.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are metasurfaces formed on a substrate from a plurality of posts. The metasurfaces are configured to be optically active at one or more wavelengths and in certain embodiments are configured to form lenses having unexpectedly strong focusing power. In particular, the metasurfaces are formed from “low-contrast” materials, including CMOS-compatible materials such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride. Accordingly, the disclosed metasurfaces are generally CMOS compatible and therefore embody a new paradigm in metasurface design and manufacturing.

    摘要: Systems and methods for wirelessly transmitting power across a room or space are disclosed herein. One such system is comprised of a power receiving element positioned to receive wireless power transfer, comprised of a power receiving cell and a retroreflector positioned proximate the power receiving cell, and a power transmission element configured to wirelessly transmit power towards the power receiving element. The power transmission element includes an optical power transmitter configured to emit a first laser beam with a first power density towards the receiving cell, a guard beam emitter positioned proximate the optical power transmitter and configured to emit a second laser beam with a second power density towards the retroreflectors, a light detector positioned proximate the guard beam emitter and configured to detect light reflected by the retroreflectors, and an interlock system configured to interrupt power transmission when a decrease in light incident from the retroreflectors is detected.
