Design of an all-dielectric long-wave infrared wide-angle metalens

Optical metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of nano-scatterers that modify optical wavefronts at subwavelength spatial resolution.They achieve the effect of focusing through phase control under a subwavelength scale,and are called metalenses.They are poised to revolutionize optics by enabling complex low-cost systems.However,there are severe monochromatic aberrations in the metasurfaces.In this paper,the coma of the long-wave infrared optical system is eliminated through a single-layer metasurface.By changing the phase function,this metalens has a numerical aperture of 0.89,a focal length of 150μm and a field of view of 120°(0.4@60 line pairs/mm)that enables diffraction-limited monochromatic imaging along the focal plane at a wavelength of 10.6μm.The designed metasurface maintains a favorable value of the modulation transfer function at different angles.This equipment can be widely used in imaging and industrial processing.
