Abstract
The techniques of this disclosure relate to a system for adjusting a focus of an image. A system includes a phased metalens configured to adjust a focus of an image detected by an imaging substrate of an image sensor. The phased metalens is further configured to adjust a property of light that reaches the imaging substrate based on a change in a flatness of the imaging substrate. The property of the light that reaches the imaging substrate includes a phase of all the light that reaches the imaging substrate at a same time. The phased metalens accomplishes this by achieving near-diffraction-limited focusing over the incoming light wavelengths using precisely defined nanoscale subwavelength resolution structures.
