Broadband Wide Field of View Imaging with Computational Mirrors

ArXi:2605.00029v1 Announce Type: cross Traditional glass-based optics are typically optimized for narrow spectral bands, such as the visible (400-700nm) or shortwave infrared (1000-1800nm). While the emergence of VIS-SWIR sensors (400-1700nm) offers transformative potential, refractive optics struggle to focus this entire range simultaneously. Mirrors represent a promising achromatic alternative; however, they are often sidelined by field curvature, and off-axis aberrations. This paper
