Wide field-of-view (FOV) optics are widely used in various imaging, display, and sensing applications. While conventional wide FOV optics rely on cascading multiple elements to suppress coma and other aberrations, it has recently been demonstrated that diffraction-limited, near-180 degree FOV operation can be achieved with a single-piece flat fisheye lens designed via iterative numerical optimization [Nano Lett. 20, 7429(2020)]. Here we derive an analytical solution to enable computationally efficient design of flat wide FOV lenses based on metasurfaces or diffractive optical elements (DOEs). Leveraging this analytical approach, we further quantified trade-offs between optical performance and design parameters in wide FOV metalenses.

The ongoing effort to implement compact and cheap optical systems is the main driving force for the recent flourishing research in the field of optical metalenses. Metalenses are a type of metasurface, used for focusing and imaging applications, and
are implemented based on the nanopatterning of an optical surface. The challenge faced by metalens research is to reach high levels of performance, using simple fabrication methods suitable for mass-production. In this paper we present a Huygens nanoantenna based metalens, designed for outdoor photographic/surveillance applications in the near-infra-red. We show that good imaging quality can be obtained over a field-of-view (FOV) as large as +/-15 degrees. This first successful implementation of metalenses for outdoor imaging applications is expected to provide insight and inspiration for future metalens imaging applications.
In this paper, a non-Hermitian two-dimensional photonic crystal flat lens is proposed. The negative refraction of the second band of photonic crystal is utilized to realize super-resolution imaging of the point source. Based on the principles of non-
Hermitian systems, a negative imaginary part is introduced into the imaging frequency, in which case the imaging intensity and resolution are improved. The results indicate that the non-Hermitian system provides a new method to improve the imaging performance of the photonic crystal lens.
A revolution in radio receiving technology is underway with the development of densely packed phased arrays for radio astronomy. This technology can provide an exceptionally large field of view, while at the same time sampling the sky with high angul
ar resolution. Such an instrument, with a field of view of over 100 square degrees, is ideal for performing fast, all-sky, surveys, such as the intensity mapping experiment to measure the signature of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in the HI mass distribution at cosmological redshifts. The SKA, built with this technology, will be able to do a billion galaxy survey. I will present a very brief introduction to radio interferometry, as well as an overview of the Square Kilometre Array project. This will be followed by a description of the EMBRACE prototype and a discussion of results and future plans.
The working principle of ordinary refractive lenses can be explained in terms of the space-variant optical phase retardations they introduce, which reshape the optical wavefront curvature and hence affect the subsequent light propagation. These phase
s, in turn, are due to the varying optical path length seen by light at different transverse positions relative to the lens centre. A similar lensing behavior can however be obtained when the optical phases are introduced by an entirely different mechanism. Here, we consider the geometric phases that arise from the polarization transformations occurring in anisotropic optical media, named after Pancharatnam and Berry. The medium anisotropy axis is taken to be space-variant in the transverse plane and the resulting varying geometric phases give rise to the wavefront reshaping and lensing effect, which however depends also on the input polarization. We describe the realization and characterization of a cylindrical geometric-phase lens that is converging for a given input circular polarization state and diverging for the orthogonal one, which provides one of the simplest possible examples of optical element based on geometric phases. The demonstrated lens is flat and only few microns thick (not including the supporting substrates); moreover, its working wavelength can be tuned and the lensing can be switched on and off by the action of an external control electric field. Other kinds of lenses or more general phase elements inducing different wavefront distortions can be obtained by a similar approach. Besides their potential for optoelectronic technology, these devices offer good opportunities for introducing college-level students to an advanced topic of modern physics, such as the Berry phase, with the help of interesting optical demonstrations.
The evolution of the electron density during electron cloud formation can be reproduced using a bunch-to-bunch iterative map formalism. The reliability of this formalism has been proved for RHIC [1] and LHC [2]. The linear coefficient has a good theo
retical framework, while quadratic coefficient has been proved only by fitting the results of compute-intensive electron cloud simulations. In this communication we derive an analytic expression for the quadratic map coefficient. The comparison of the theoretical estimate with the simulations results shows a good agreement for a wide range of bunch population.
