Metalens technology has been applied extensively in miniaturized and integrated infrared imaging systems. However, due to the high phase dispersion of unit structures, metalens often exhibits chromatic aberration, making broadband achromatic infrared imaging challenging to achieve. In this paper, six different unit structures based on chalcogenide glass are constructed, and their phase-dispersion parameters are analyzed to establish a database. On this basis, using chromatic aberration compensation and parameterized adjoint topology optimization, a broadband achromatic metalens with a numerical aperture of 0.5 is designed by arranging these six unit structures in the far-infrared band. Simulation results show that the metalens achieves near diffraction-limited focusing within the operating wavelength range of 9−11 µm, demonstrating the good performance of achromatic aberration with flat focusing efficiency of 54%−58% across all wavelengths.
