Aberration-corrected large-scale hybrid metalenses
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2021

Hybrid components combining the optical power of a refractive and a diffractive optical system can form compact doublet lenses that correct various aberrations. Unfortunately, the diffraction efficiency of these devices decreases as a function of the deflection angle over the element aperture. Here, we address this issue, compensating for chromatic dispersion and correcting for monochromatic aberrations with centimeter-scale hybrid-metalenses. We demonstrate a correction of at least 80% for chromatic aberration and 70% for spherical aberration. We finally present monochromatic and achromatic images that clearly show how these hybrid systems outperform standard refractive lenses. The possibilities to adjust arbitrary spatial amplitude, phase, polarization, and dispersion profiles with hybrid metasurfaces offer unprecedented optical design opportunities for compact and broadband imaging, augmented reality/virtual reality, and holographic projection.
