Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses may provide optical lenses comprising liquid crystal metasurfaces. Systems and methods may include a lens system comprising a first optical lens and a liquid crystal metasurface formed on the first optical lens, and a pair of electrodes positioned on opposite sides of the first optical lens. The pair of electrodes may individually tune sections of the liquid crystal metasurface to adjust an optical characteristic of the optical signal. A waveguide may be configured to receive the adjusted optical signal passed through the first optical lens and may provide the optical signal to an image sensor for an image.
