Abstract
An apparatus includes a sensor having one or more drift-field demodulation pixels and wavelength separating optical elements (WSOEs) such as metalenses and diffractive optical elements (DOEs). The WSOE can be configured such that when light is incident on a pixel, the light passes through the WSOE first and such that different wavelengths are focused by the WSOE on different spatial points in the associated pixel.
