Fourier optics, the principle of using Fourier Transformation to understand the functionalities of optical elements, lies at the heart of modern optics, and has been widely applied to optical information processing, imaging, holography etc.…
Metal-dielectric layered stacks for imaging with sub-wavelength resolution are regarded as linear isoplanatic systems - a concept popular in Fourier Optics and in scalar diffraction theory. In this context, a layered flat lens is a…
We proposed a method to achieve superresolved optical imaging without beating the diffraction limit of light. This is achieved by magnifying the ideal optical image of the object through higher-order spatial frequency generation while…
Metaoptics are thin, planar surfaces consisting of many subwavelength optical resonators that can be designed to simultaneously control the amplitude, phase, and polarization to arbitrarily shape an optical wavefront much in the same manner…
Fourier-based optical computing operations, such as spatial differentiation, have recently been realized in compact form factors using flat optics. Experimental demonstrations, however, have been limited to coherent light requiring laser…
Recent experimental work has demonstrated the potential to combine the merits of diffractive and on-chip photonic information processing devices in a single chip by making use of planar (or slab) waveguides. Researchers have adapted key…
Imaging polarimetry plays an essential role in various fields since it imparts rich information that cannot be obtained through mere intensity and spectral measurements. To retrieve full Stokes parameters, at least four sensor pixels are…
Digital cameras and displays utilise picture elements (pixels) that perform a single function: detecting or emitting light intensity. To exploit the full information content of electromagnetic waves, more advanced elements are required.…
In this paper are reviewed various designs of advanced, multi-aperture optical systems dedicated to high angular resolution imaging or to the detection of exo-planets by nulling interferometry. A simple Fourier optics formalism applicable…
The design of compact optical systems with large field of view has been difficult due to the requirement of many elements or a curved focal plane to reduce off-axis aberration. We propose a multi-aperture lens design to effectively resolve…
Lensless cameras based on thin diffusers offer a compact alternative to conventional refractive imaging but rely on computational reconstruction, since the diffuser's point spread function (PSF) globally multiplexes every scene point across…
We demonstrate a Fourier Imaging system with centimeter field of view(FOV), and 0.0042{\deg}angular resolution at C band, for the entire 180{\deg} radiation angular range. To pursue omnidirectional Fourier imaging without aberration, a…
Metasurface research has shown significant potential for controlling the polarization, amplitude, phase and propagation direction of light. Nevertheless, control over the angular response of incident light still remains a long-standing…
A perfect lens with unlimited resolution has always posed a challenge to both theoretical and experimental physicists. Recent developments in optical meta-materials promise an attractive approach towards perfect lenses using negative…
Reducing a set of diverse bulk-optic-based optical components to a single ultrathin and compact element that enables the same complex functionality has become an emerging research area, propelling further integration and miniaturization in…
The solid immersion lens is a powerful optical tool that allows light entering material from air or vacuum to focus to a spot much smaller than the free-space wavelength. Conventionally, however, they rely on semispherical topographies and…
Intensity, wavevector, phase, and polarization are the most important parameters of any light beam. Understanding the wavevector distribution has emerged as a very important problem in recent days, especially at nanoscale. It provides…
We introduce optical polarization-insensitive high pass filters based on total internal reflection of light at the interface of two dielectric media (1D) and Bragg reflection of a multilayer stack (2D) in transmission mode. The wavevectors…
Optical metasurfaces have been recently explored as ultrathin analog image differentiators. By tailoring the momentum transfer function, they can perform efficient Fourier-filtering - and thus potentially any linear mathematical operation -…
Based on diffraction theory and the propagation of the light, Fourier optics is a powerful tool allowing the estimation of a visible-range imaging system to transfer the spatial frequency components of an object. The analyses of the imaging…
