I can't make sense of all this shit and it seems this is a long way from production but....
By intelligently designing these scattering elements, metalenses offer unparalleled subwavelength control over the polarization, amplitude, phase, and frequency of incident light [1]. This advanced control can drastically enhance the efficiency and compactness of next-generation optical systems
I can certainly imagine that there could be interesting applications like DLSR type cameras that fit in a phone where white light is broken up by color and each color is read by an independent sensor.
I can imagine there could be interesting AR and VR applications.
Also applications for 3d and holographic displays.
Could anyone more educated on the subject interject?
