Fig. 16: Metalenses for single-shot 3D imaging.

a Layout scheme of the spatially interleaved metalenses with the zoomed-out false-colored SEM (left), and the comparison of imaging results (right). Reproduced with permission¹⁶². Copyright 2019, American Chemical Society. b A depth sensor based on a metalens simultaneously capturing two images with different defocus, insets are enlarged view of false-colored design (top) and side-view SEM image (bottom). In the right figure, meta-atoms with different colors correspond to distinct focusing phase profiles of the interleaved lenses. Reproduced with permission¹⁶³.
