Overview
- The lens is a flat Fresnel design, focusing light through diffraction instead of refraction.
- It measures just 0.6 nanometers in thickness and 0.5 millimeters in width.
- Quantum properties of tungsten disulphide enhance the lens's efficiency at specific wavelengths.
- Most light passes through the lens unaffected, making it ideal for augmented reality applications.
- Researchers aim to develop more complex optical coatings that can be electrically adjusted.
