AI Article Synopsis

  • - A new wavefront sensor using a meta-lens array has been created, overcoming the size and curvature limitations of traditional micro-lenses.
  • - This innovation leads to better sampling density and higher angular resolution for measuring wave phases.
  • - The use of metasurfaces allows for improved characterization of complex wavefronts on a smaller scale, advancing optical phase measurement technology.

Article Abstract

A meta-lens array-based Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor has been developed to break the limits imposed by the size and curvature of traditional micro-lenses, which significantly improves both sampling density and angular resolution of phase measurement. Metasurface advances the field of optical phase measurement to smaller-scale complex wavefront characterization.
