Improving Mid-Infrared Imaging and Sensing

Artificial optical materials could allow cheaper, flatter, more efficient detectors for night vision and other uses. A new way of taking images in the mid-infrared part of the spectrum, developed by researchers at MIT and elsewhere, could enable a wide variety of applications, including thermal imaging, biomedical sensing, and free-space communication. The mid-infrared (mid-IR) band

DARPA’s EXTREME Optics and Imaging Program to Enable New Designs for Optics and Imagers

DARPA seeks engineered optical materials unconstrained by “laws” of classical optics to develop vastly smaller, lighter, and more capable devices for advanced imaging applications. Developers of imaging systems have long been beholden to certain rules of optics designs so well established and seemingly immutable as to be treated as virtual “laws” of physics. One widely
