Extreme Optics and Imaging (EXTREME)

Demo: Demonstration of a 10cm (~4in) planar metalens, which is a world record in size for a visible spectrum metalens. This metalens technology, developed by Harvard University, is enabling for technologies such as UAS imaging systems with five optical elements to be replaced with only three elements resulting in either 4x enhancement in resolution for the same SWaP of existing systems or 10x enchantment in SWaP for the same resolution. https://www.darpa.mil/research/progra...
