Abstract
Volumetric Imaging Efficiency (VIE) compares the compactness and capacity of an imager against the limit imposed by diffraction. This metric is used to compare optical technologies for low-volume imaging and show that a combination of metasurface lenses can surpass the VIE limits of conventional imagers.
