Shaping Light with a Smartlens

High quality camera performance on mobile devices has proven to be one of the features that most end-users aim for. The importance of optical image quality improvement and the trend to have thinner and thinner smartphones have pushed manufacturers to increase the number of cameras per device in order to provide phones with better zoom, low-light exposure high-quality photography, and portraits, to name a few. But adding additional lenses to a miniaturized optical configuration and driving light-focusing with an electronic device is not as easy as it seems, particularly at small scales or in such confined spaces.
