Detour-phased perovskite ultrathin planar lens using direct femtosecond laser writing

Perovskite-enabled optical devices have drawn intensive interest and have been considered promising candidates for integrated optoelectronic systems.As one of the important photonic functions,optical phase modulation previously was demonstrated with perovskite substrate and complex refractive index engineering with laser scribing.Here we report on the new scheme of achieving efficient phase modulation by combining detour phase design with 40 nm ultrathin perovskite films composed of nanosized crystalline particles.Phase modulation was realized by binary amplitude patterning,which significantly simplifies the fabrication process.Perovskite nanocrystal films exhibit significantly weak ion migration effects under femtosecond laser writing,resulting in smooth edges along the laser ablated area and high diffractive optical quality.Fabrication of a detour-phased perovskite ultrathin planar lens with a diameter of 150μm using femtosecond laser scribing was experimentally demonstrated.A high-performance 3D focus was observed,and the fabrication showed a high tolerance with different laser writing powers.Furthermore,the high-quality imaging capability of perovskite ultrathin planar lenses with a suppressed background was also demonstrated.
