  Too bad you need to keep blasting the crystal with a laser to make this work

    Is that a problem though? As long as the new camera is better than the old one, it should be fine.

      I was hoping it was more of a process done to the crystal so it could make cheap and better heat cameras

  Hmm, so if I understand the paper (which I might not), the lens is created by one laser beam, and then light from the sample causes a two photon effect in the lens area. Since two photon effects continue propagation, it’s in effect a pinhole which can be used for imaging. This seems like quite an elegant experiment.

  Okay, that’s very cool work.
