1. A method of forming an image signal comprising:

  • providing a curved photodetector, said curved photodetector including a plurality of photosensors;

    absorbing an un-refracted flux of photons at said plurality of photosensors, each of said photosensors respectively having a different functional orientation with respect to a propagation vector of said flux of photons;

    generating a plurality of intensity signals at said plurality of photosensors respectively, each of said intensity signals being related to said respective orientation;

    receiving said plurality of intensity signals at a signal processor device; and

    computing, with said signal processor device, a focused image signal related to said plurality of intensity signals.
