Description
Summary:Metalenses, featuring ultra-compactness and CMOS compatibility, are limited by the compromise between the diameter, numerical aperture, and working waveband. To address this problem, we propose and numerically demonstrate a centimeter-scale metasurface-refractive hybrid metalens working in the band of 440 - 700 nm. Revisiting the general Snell law, we present the phase profile of a chromatic aberration correction metasurface that can apply to a plano-convex refractive lens of an arbitrary surface type. Simulated by our semi-vector method, the designed achromatic hybrid metalens achieves 81% chromatic aberration suppression and polarization insensitivity. Broadband imaging results of the hybrid metalens are further provided, verifying the achromatism of the designed hybrid metalens. It can find applications in camera lenses and other optical systems that need compact, high-performance lenses.
