Abstract
The method comprises fabricating a plurality of sub-units on a planar substrate, where each sub-unit comprises an optical sensing structure configured to receive at least a portion of an optical wavefront that impinges on one or more of the sub-units, and material forming at least a portion of a hinge in a vicinity of a border with at least one adjacent sub-unit; removing at least a portion of the substrate on respective borders between each of at least three different pairs of sub-units to enable relative movement between the sub-units in each pair constrained by one of the hinges formed from the material; and providing one or more actuators configured to apply a force to fold a connected network of multiple sub-units into a non-planar formation.
