This is big! I first heard of this tech yesterday. And today I do a little searching and, wow! Again this is big. It's fantastic watching all the amazing research and practical engineering going on in the fringes of our technology. So fun to hear about possibilities. But this isn't just possibilities. This is getting ready to explode into every facet of both science and everyday practical use. I'm very excited going forward to see how this tech is going to be applied!
What are the challenges with this technology? Does it render color accurately? Can it be used in zooms? Is it too fragile to be used in commercial camera setups? This is extremely exciting technology, but I'd like to know what are the barriers the researchers must overcome before it heads to market.
achromatic means all light within its achromatic bandwidth will land at the same focal point. Its not fragile, as you are depositing very flat dense patterns on a glass substrate.

Is aperture and UV/VIS/IR transmission good?
Is this technology only for small devices? Or could it be used in large devices like telescope and really big telescope 🔭🛰️
Tunable?
Great tech, i wish you good progress.
Wonder what the solar applications might be? Also, military cloaking?
Solar cells! I hadn't thought of that possibility.
That's a key point for sure. If indeed the same companies can produce both products, this tech will be far-reaching. I wish you luck Professor.

Paul Fortunato it will probably just the the same, just with no lens distortion.

I hope they make their way into phones one day. There will be zero lens distortion!
