Re: Advances in telescope optics
I guess aberrations are corrected in a similar way as in conventional systems?

Re: Advances in telescope optics
Absorption losses are a question not addressed in the paper, unless my quick skim missed it. I wonder if there's not a possibility of new aberrations?turboscrew wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 11:19 am I wonder how much light does it "eat" compared to conventional systems?

Re: Advances in telescope optics
As it turns out, the article WP linked envisions application of the spaceplate with conventional lenses (and more compact systems) and with a metalens for an almost flat optical system. It's early days, but I'm eager to see some real world applications. I imagine phone cameras with decent telescopic capabilities might be among the earliest applications.

This is clearly state-of-the-art optical technology .
It’s interesting to contemplate where this might lead in the near future
