Abstract
We present a novel all-glass wafer-level lens manufacturing technology. Compared to existing wafer-level lens manufacturing technologies, we realize lenses all in glass, which has a number of distinct advantages, including the availability of different glass types with largely varying dispersion for efficient achromatic lens design. Another advantage of all-glass solutions is the ability to dice the lens stack to match the form factor of a rectangular sensor area without compromising the optical performance of the lens, thereby allowing to significantly reducing the footprint of an array camera.
