    Abstract: An optical sensor for imaging a biometric object includes: a cover layer transparent to light reflected off the biometric object; an optical layer, disposed below the cover layer, having a plurality of diffractive optical elements; and a sensing layer, having a plurality of sensing elements disposed below the optical layer, each of the sensing elements being configured to detect light from the biometric object. The plurality of diffractive optical elements of the optical layer are configured to direct light from the biometric object to the plurality of sensing elements.
