Abstract
Imaging device and method, the device including receiver optics, a diffractive and focusing surface, and a pair of diffractive and focusing arrangements, the receiver optics receiving radiation including a first wavelength selected from a first spectral band, and a second spectral band, where the first wavelength is substantially a multiplicative factor less than the midpoint of the second spectral band, the diffractive and focusing surface diffracting the first wavelength at an order of diffraction substantially equal to the multiplicative factor, and diffracting the second spectral band at a first order of diffraction, each of the diffractive and focusing arrangements diffracting, in turn, the first wavelength at a first order of diffraction, such that the first wavelength and the second spectral band emanating from the second diffractive and focusing arrangement focuses at a substantially common focal length and at a substantially common focal plane width.
