Abstract:
Array cameras incorporating quantum film imagers are disclosed. One embodiment includes: a plurality of focal planes, where each focal plane comprises a plurality of rows of pixels that also form a plurality of columns of pixels and each focal plane is contained within a region of the imager array that does not contain pixels from another focal plane; at least one quantum film located on the surface of the imager array, where each quantum film comprises a plurality of quantum dots; control circuitry configured to control the capture of image information by the pixels within the focal planes, where the control circuitry is configured so that the capture of image information by the pixels in at least two of the focal planes is separately controllable; and sampling circuitry configured to convert pixel outputs into digital pixel data.
