Problems solved by technology

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the problems of limited NA and low focusing efficiency of the superlens in the prior art, the present invention proposes a method for realizing a broadband achromatic superlens based on a fork structure, by controlling the handedness of nanorods of different wavelengths , then different wavelengths can achieve 0-2π phase coverage to focus on the same focus, and all wavelengths in between can be focused on the same focus; because each wavelength can cover 0-2π by controlling the rotation direction of the nanorods The phase change range will be able to break through the limitation of the aspect ratio of the wavelength unit structure based on the transmission phase chromatic aberration, and realize high-efficiency wide-band achromatic aberration

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing a wide-waveband achromatic superlens based on a fork structure, which belongs to the field of optical metamaterials. Firstly, the geometric structure of rod 1 and rod 2 is optimized so that the polarization conversion efficiency is the highest, and then the phase of rod 1 is passed. Information control wavelength λ 1 Focusing on the target focal point, the phase of rod 2 controls the wavelength λ 2 Focusing on the target focal point, the phase information of the fork structure composed of rod 1 and rod 2 controls the wavelength λ 1 nearby wavelength, λ 2 Near wavelength and wavelength λ 1 ‑λ 2 The wavelength in the broadband range is focused on the focal point of the target, so that the broadband chromatic aberration is eliminated. Finally, the metalens composed of the fork structure realizes high-efficiency broadband achromatic aberration, and the phase is controlled by rotating the structure. There is no requirement for the aspect ratio of the structure. Therefore, a metalens with a large numerical aperture can be designed, which solves the problems of large chromatic aberration, low focusing efficiency and small numerical aperture of the previously designed metalens.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical metamaterials, in particular to a method for realizing a broadband achromatic superlens based on a fork structure. Background technique [0002] Metasurface is a two-dimensional ultra-thin planar structure composed of many subwavelength structural units, which can change the phase, amplitude and polarization of light waves arbitrarily according to requirements, so as to achieve the regulation of light field. Based on the research of metasurface planar optics, it has broad application prospects in holographic imaging, vortex beams, deflectors, polarization conversion and control, and lens imaging. Chromatic aberration is a serious problem for the wideband focusing of metalens. Recently, a sub-area achromatic method has been proposed to control the focusing of different wavelengths through different areas, but this method cannot achieve broadband achromatic, and the efficiency is very low; in addit...
