摘要: 在消色差的结构优化中，超构透镜的尺寸、消色差带宽及数值孔径具有内在制约关系，很难获得高效率的大尺寸消色差透镜。离散波长消色差设计将打破宽带消色差的参数制约，有望获得更高效率的成像性能。本文通过引入相位色散空间的概念，理论上阐明了离散波长消色差的效率变化规律，证明了离散波长消色差超构透镜在聚焦效率上优于宽带消色差超构透镜。计算结果表明，双波长消色差超构透镜效率大概为宽带消色差超构透镜的4倍，相关结果通过设计相应的超构透镜进行仿真模拟得到验证。进一步揭示并解释了离散波长消色差的聚焦效率会随消色差的频率间隔增大呈现出先下降后上升的规律。Abstract: Due to the intrinsic constraints of metalenses’ achromatic bandwidth, lens size, and numerical aperture, it’s hard to create a high-performance large scale broadband achromatic metalens. Discrete multi-wavelength achromatic metalenses can exceed multiple of these restrictions of these parameters, which means they could perform more suitably. Here, we introduce a phase-dispersion space, by which we prove that multiwavelength achromatic metalenses are theoretically more efficient than broadband achromatic metalenses. The efficiency of dualwavelength achromatic metalenses is 4 times that of broadband achromatic metalenses when calculated by simulation. We also analyze the relationship between efficiency and the frequency interval of multiwavelength achromatic metalens, and conclude that efficiency will decrease first and then increase as the frequency interval increases.
