Abstract
In some embodiments, a camera includes a first image sensor attached to a first ceramic substrate, a second image sensor attached to a second ceramic substrate, and a lens system including a set of lens elements serving both the first image sensor and the second image sensor, and a color-splitting component along an optical path between the lens system and the image sensors. The color-splitting component separates the light into a first set of wavelengths directed to the first image sensor and a second set of wavelengths directed to the second image sensor.
