ABSTRACT
Metalenses can achieve diffraction-limited focusing via localized phase modification of the incoming light beam. However, the current metalenses face to the restrictions on simultaneously achieving large diameter, large numerical aperture, broad working bandwidth and the structure manufacturability. Herein, we present a kind of metalenses composed of concentric nanorings that can address these restrictions using topology optimization approach. Compared to existing inverse design approaches, the computational cost of our optimization method is greatly reduced for large-size metalenses. With its design flexibility, the achieved metalens can work in the whole visible range with millimeter size and a numerical aperture of 0.8 without involving high-aspect ratio structures and large refractive index materials. Electron-beam resist PMMA with a low refractive index is directly used as the material of the metalens, enabling a much more simplified manufacturing process. Experimental results show that the imaging performance of the fabricated metalens has a resolution better than 600â
nm corresponding to the measured FWHM of 745â
nm.
