For decades, the lens-CCD chip paradigm has dominated the design of imaging sensors. Design goals of these systems are to maximize resolution and to maximize the field of view. This work proposes a new design paradigm for a sensor that employs state-of-the art optical micro-electro-mechanical systems, with the goal of ultimately producing ultra-high resolution images. This will be made possible by an application of the theory of vector fields and distributions to optical design, and the effort will entail collaboration between a mathematician and an electrical engineer. A major component of this work will involve the integration of research and education. This work will enable students and researchers to explore the multi-discipline area of optical microsystems through the development of courses, labs, and research experiences, developing a qualified next-generation engineering force for US leadership in the emerging optical microsystem field.

几十年来，镜头-CCD芯片范式一直主导着成像传感器的设计。 这些系统的设计目标是最大化分辨率和最大化视场。 这项工作提出了一种新的设计模式的传感器，采用最先进的光学微机电系统，最终产生超高分辨率的图像的目标。 这将成为可能的应用理论的矢量场和分布的光学设计，并努力将需要合作之间的数学家和电气工程师。 这项工作的一个主要组成部分将涉及研究与教育的结合。 这项工作将使学生和研究人员通过课程，实验室和研究经验的开发，探索光学微系统的多学科领域，为美国在新兴的光学微系统领域的领导地位开发合格的下一代工程力量。
