preparation example Construction

[0029] The present invention is based on the preparation method of the wide-angle retroreflector of secondary aspherical metalens, comprising the following steps:

[0030] Step 1. Construct the superstructure unit, and then adjust the relative phase delay between the superstructure units by changing the radius value and height value of the superstructure unit;

[0031] Step 2. Determine the numerical aperture of the quadratic aspheric metalens and the value is greater than or equal to 0.8, and arrange the array according to the equiphase planes required to be generated by the quadratic aspheric metalens;

Abstract

The invention discloses a wide-angle retroreflector based on a secondary aspheric surface super-structure lens and a preparation method of the wide-angle retroreflector. The retroreflector comprises a substrate, a layer of secondary aspheric surface super-structure lens arranged on the upper surface of the substrate, and a plane reflecting layer arranged on the lower surface of the substrate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: arranging an array according to an equiphase surface which needs to be generated by the secondary aspheric surface super-structure lens; a plane reflecting layer is arranged at the focal plane of the secondary aspheric surface super-structure lens; and under the conditions that the transmission coefficient of the uniform periodic array corresponding to the selected superstructure unit is greater than 0.75 and the phase regulation reaches 0-2pi, adjusting the parameters of the superstructure unit, calculating the average retroreflection efficiency of the retroreflector formed by the superstructure units with different periods and heights within the retroreflection range of 0-120 degrees, and calculating the average retroreflection efficiency of the retroreflector formed by the superstructure units with different periods and heights within the retroreflection range of 0-120 degrees. And determining the unit height and the period when the average retroreflection efficiency is the highest, and obtaining the final wide-angle retroreflector. According to the invention, a larger working angle range and higher retroreflection efficiency are realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of front-end devices in wireless communication, in particular to a wide-angle retroreflector based on a quadratic aspheric metalens and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A retroreflector is a device that can reflect electromagnetic wave signals along its incident direction. Traditional retroreflectors include Lumber lenses, corner reflectors, and cat's eye retroreflectors. Among them, Longbo lens can achieve retroreflection in the range of nearly 180°, that is, all possible incident / reflected rays are in a cone with a vertex angle of 180° and the axis is the symmetry axis of the device, but it requires more complicated processing technology to achieve Refractive index gradient inside the device. Corner reflectors use three mutually perpendicular right-angle surfaces to achieve retroreflection. Due to their simple manufacture, they are widely used in marking land and sea targets su...
