My first thought was chip interconnects and other optical communications, but I'm unsure if that type of application would need these types of microlenses, and the fact that the engineer talks about preserving "image quality". At the same time, if not for fiber-optic communications, where else are infrared wavelengths used? astronomical telescope sensors?? <br>Perhaps I should, you know, actually read the article... lol<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[loosely_coupled]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 2:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Physicists develop microlens with earth-shatteringly short focal length]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</guid><description><![CDATA[You own a university?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 5:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Physicists develop microlens with earth-shatteringly short focal length]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</guid><description><![CDATA[[quote]bad bad bad idea...<br><br>soon we have a camera/handphone tha's just 1 mm thick... and will be used by someone bad at heart to ge some shots in..............(fill in the blank).[/quote]<br><br>Maybe... but there could be a better usage for it.<br><br>Since my native language is not english and my major is way waaaay different than rocket science, I could only deduct and think this:<br><br>Is it possible that using this technology maybe ppl that have very bad sight or blind people, would be able to see??????<br><br>I don't know... that's just what I understood of the article.<br><br>Cheers =)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[johnny_toes]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 2:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Physicists develop microlens with earth-shatteringly short focal length]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm waiting to the day when an average consumer can buy a ultrathin camera that uses liquid lenses.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[aquatsr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2008 2:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Physicists develop microlens with earth-shatteringly short focal length]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/physicists-develops-microlens-with-earth-shatteringly-short-foca/</guid><description><![CDATA[Holy vitiligo, Batman!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ug]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2008 11:40AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
