Achromatic Flat Lenses Add More Color to the World of Optics

A new, flat lens with the ability to focus light with a higher efficiency within the visible spectrum was reported by a team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) last summer. In order to bend and focus light as it passed, an ultrathin array of nanopillars was used in the lens.
