A new, thin-lensed telescope design could far surpass James Webb – goodbye mirrors, hello diffractive lenses

The grand question is whether any of these planets are home to life.

Key Points: 
  • The grand question is whether any of these planets are home to life.
  • For the last seven years, I have been co-leading a team that is developing a new kind of space telescope that could collect a hundred times more light than the James Webb Space Telescope, the biggest space telescope ever built.
  • Almost all space telescopes, including Hubble and Webb, collect light using mirrors.

The need for larger telescopes

    • Exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than the Sun – are prime targets in the search for life.
    • Astronomers need to use giant space telescopes that collect huge amounts of light to study these faint and faraway objects.
    • Existing telescopes can detect exoplanets as small as Earth.

A new kind of telescope

    • To bypass this bottleneck, a few of us came up with the idea of revisiting an old technology called diffractive lenses.
    • Today, similar diffractive lenses can be found in many small-sized consumer optics – from camera lenses to virtual reality headsets.
    • But if you could improve their clarity, using diffractive lenses instead of mirrors or refractive lenses would allow a space telescope to be much cheaper, lighter and larger.

A thin, high-resolution lens

    • Lucky for me, Thomas Milster – one of the world’s leading experts on diffractive lens design – works in the building next to mine.
    • Because it is the surface texture of the lens that does the focusing, not the thickness, you can easily make the lens bigger while keeping it very thin and lightweight.
    • We are now completing a 10-inch (24-cm) diameter lens that will be more than 10 times lighter than a conventional refractive lens would be.

Power of a diffraction space telescope

    • This new lens design makes it possible to rethink how a space telescope might be built.
    • Our current design is in fact not a single telescope, but a constellation of 35 individual telescope units.
    • By combining data from all the units, Nautilus’ light-collecting power would equal a telescope nearly 10 times larger than Webb.
    • Our next steps are to send a small version of the telescope to the edge of space on a high-altitude balloon.
    • With that, we will be ready to propose a revolutionary new space telescope to NASA and, hopefully, be on the way to exploring hundreds of worlds for signatures of life.
