Broadband Polarization and Color Sensitive Focal Plane Array with Thick Optical Filter and Micro-optics Array
Researchers at the University of Arizona have designed a sensor array with thick IR filters and micro-optics for use in a polarization and color camera. The camera is wide-angle and broad band, yet its design greatly reduces cross-talk between pixels and maintains high resolution. Background: Polarization imaging is key in fields like medicine, remote...
