Researchers have used the centuries-old idea of pinhole imaging to create a high-performance mid-infrared imaging system without lenses. The new camera can capture extremely clear pictures over a ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

Normal smartphone cameras capture the spectral bands for the colors red, green, and blue (RGB) visible to humans. However, ...

"Majestic Fjord" by Katie Farr got an honorable mention in the infrared landscape category of Kolari Vision's Life in Another Light infrared photography contest. Kolari Vision revealed the winners of ...

A contact lens with microscopic line patterns tracks eye position with high precision using only a smartphone camera, ...

Researchers use laser light to form a tiny “optical pinhole” inside a nonlinear crystal, which also turns the infrared image into a visible image that a traditional silicon-based camera sensor can ...

Infrared light passes through the metal lens and is converted into violet light and focussed in a focal point due to the material and the special surface structures – enlarged in the magnifying glass.
