High-NA achromatic metalenses by inverse design

Abstract: We use inverse design to discover metalens structures that exhibit broadband, achromatic focusing across low, moderate, and high numerical apertures. We show that standard unit-cell approaches cannot achieve high-efficiency high-NA focusing, even at a single frequency, due to the incompleteness of the unit-cell basis, and we provide computational upper bounds on their maximum efficiencies. At low NA, our devices exhibit the highest theoretical efficiencies to date. At high NA-of 0.9 with translation-invariant … Show more

“…(3) and expressing ∆T err in terms of S by inverting Eq. (13). This leads to a looser bandwidth bound if the Strehl ratio decreases, suggesting that a relaxation of the imaging performance of the metalens allows for a broader bandwidth, as expected.…”

“…Instead, all the metalens designs obey our limits based on Tucker's or Miller's TBP (see Fig. 2(b) and Table 1), including recent ultrabroadband metalenses obtained using free-form all-area optimization and inverse design [13].…”
