Filter-free Color Image Sensors with a Full-color-sorting Metalens Array

Abstract

We present a filter-free color image sensor utilizing a full-color-sorting metalens array. Our demonstration shows the sensor’s ability to create high-quality color images while enhancing pixel-signal levels compared with those of conventional image sensors.
