Recent research progress in optical super-resolution planar meta-lenses

从光学自身机理上突破光学理论分辨率极限,实现远场超分辨光学点扩散函数,进而实现超分辨聚焦和超分辨成像,在激光加工、超分辨光学显微和超分辨望远等系统有着重要应用前景。近年来,光学超构表面的发展使得在亚波长尺度上实现光场振幅、相位及偏振的独立调控成为可能,为研制新型的超分辨平面超构透镜提供了更加灵活的手段。本文介绍了基于光学超构表面的超分辨平面超构透镜、相关测试技术方面几年来的研究进展,并讨论了该领域面临的问题和未来的研究重点和方向。

Breaking through the theoretical resolution limit on the optical mechanism and realizing super-resolution optical point-spread-function is important in achieving super-resolution focusing and imaging, which have great potential applications in laser processing, super-resolution microscopy, and telescope systems. In recent years, with the development of optical metasurfaces, it is capable to achieve independent control of the amplitude, phase, and polarization of the optical fields on the sub-wavelength scale, which in turn provides a more flexible means for the development of a new type of super-resolution planar super-lens. This article reviews the recent research progress of super-resolution planar meta-lenses based on the optical metasurfaces and related testing techniques. It also discusses the problems faced in this field and future research priorities and directions.
