Abstract
Color image sensors and systems are provided. A sensor as disclosed includes a plurality of color sensing pixels disposed within an array, each of which includes a plurality of sub-pixels. Each color sensing pixel within the image sensor is associated with a set of diffraction features and a plurality of wavelength selective filters that only partially overlay an area of the pixel. The diffraction features can be formed from materials having an index of refraction that is higher than an index of refraction of the surrounding material. Color information regarding light incident on a pixel can be determined by applying ratios of signals obtained by pairs of included sub-pixels and calibrated ratios for different colors to a set of equations.
