Computational simulation of multi-wavelength light-field thermometry based on a chromatic meta-lens

This Letter proposes a light-field meta-lens multi-wavelength thermometry (MMT) system that is capable of modulating a full-spectrum incident radiation into four separate wavelength beams. The chromatic meta-lens is designed using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) software to function as a filter, ensuring its ability to separate four wavelengths. The chromatic meta-lens is positioned on the back focus plane of the main lens to replace the microlens used in traditional light-field systems and simplify the overall system. After detecting the acquired wavelengths and intensities of the image on photodiodes, a raw multispectral image can be decoupled and processed using the Chameleon swarm algorithm (CSA). Four full-spectrum incident radiations corresponding to four temperature characteristic curves are detected. The high accuracy of the reverse temperature calculation enables the measurement of surface high-temperature distribution with precision.
