Luneburg lens in silicon photonics

Opt Express. 2011 Mar 14;19(6):5156-62. doi: 10.1364/OE.19.005156.

Abstract

The Luneburg lens is an aberration-free lens that focuses light from all directions equally well. We fabricated and tested a Luneburg lens in silicon photonics. Such fully-integrated lenses may become the building blocks of compact Fourier optics on chips. Furthermore, our fabrication technique is sufficiently versatile for making perfect imaging devices on silicon platforms.
