IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGE SENSOR INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 16800468 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGE SENSOR INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an imaging apparatus that includes three optical devices with nanostructures. The first optical device transmits light to the second optical device, which in turn transmits light to the third optical device. The nanostructures in at least one of these devices have different heights.

• The imaging apparatus includes three optical devices with nanostructures.
• Light transmitted through the first optical device is incident on the second optical device.
• Light transmitted through the second optical device is incident on the third optical device.
• At least one of the optical devices includes a plurality of nanostructures.
• The heights of at least two nanostructures in the plurality of nanostructures are different from each other.

Potential Applications:

• High-resolution imaging systems
• Microscopy
• Optical data storage
• Optical sensors

Problems Solved:

• Improved image quality and resolution
• Enhanced light transmission efficiency
• Reduction of optical aberrations

Benefits:

• Higher quality and more detailed images
• Increased sensitivity and accuracy in optical measurements
• Improved performance of optical devices
• Enhanced data storage capacity
