New Lens technology

[Brad L. Roper]

This article on a new lens technology may be of interest. It may be many years before it is available for the amateur astronomer, if ever, but interesting nonetheless:

Neat. Potential applications may include a new generation of digital cameras with a simpler light path involving a single flat lens element that includes RGB channels (astrophotography!) and ultra-comact spectrometers... perfect for astronomy application. See the concluding remarks of the original paper here:
