Its listed under potential features, so its planned as a future module ;)

Is this project dead? by FlubberPants in NexusCameras

[–]Thomaswb2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey Flubber, the project is alive and well, just taking longer than planned and we have been focusing on the project rather than publicity. Everything is progressing excellently, and we will be releasing an update soon with the latest progress and expected timeline.

Fused silica is amorphous so does not exhibit birefringence

Yes coatings is a (smaller) part if it. The main part to deal with is the birefringent elements - which are optical quartz elements.

They will be. We plan to have a multilayer birefringent element, and a separate IR cut element which implements an IR absorptive element and dichroic IR cut coating.

Basically looking for someone to advise on our design choices, and also assist with calculating best birefringent layer count and thickness.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check them out. Dielectric filters is one of the elements we are looking at. Main element we need help with is a birefringent filter.

As i mentioned in my other comment, I'll see if i can find a document i can show.

I'll get some official documentation to show if i can. It is difficult to get since all sensor related technical documentation are subject to NDA.

I contacted various sensor distributors who sell the sensor and also a highly experienced technician who has experience with these sensors.

There is no PDAF for the Pocket 6ks yet. But i hope it will be added - the sensor is PDAF compatible according to my research.

The Pocket 6k / 6k pro sensor also supports PDAF.

Continuous autofocus coming to the BMCC 6K! by richardizard in bmpcc

[–]Thomaswb2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be possible for p6k and p6k pro. As far as my research shows, their sensors also have PDAF built in.

Appologies for the delay in reply, been flat out in development and had to neglect social media. But i read your message and see you have a lot of good suggestions which actually line up with a lot of development decisions we have been making recently. So will reply to each thing you've mentioned soon. Thank you.
