[0003] Ordinary metasurface optical devices are affected by structural diffraction dispersion. Light of different wavelengths will have different diffraction directions when passing through metasurface optical devices, resulting in dispersion.

[0046] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a metasurface optical device, comprising: a substrate and a plurality of nanorods arranged on the end surface of the substrate, wherein:
[0048] The materials of the plurality of nanorods include at least two materials, and the dispersion coefficients of the at least two materials compensate or offset each other or are combined according to a preset function.
[0049] In this embodiment, the substrate is usually a wafer, but the material of the substrate includes but is not limited to the wafer in this embodiment, and can also be other materials. The dispersion coefficients of at least two materials can be opposite or the same. When they are the same, the lens design of the metasurface device composed of the same nanomaterial can be relied on to reduce the final dispersion effect. Similar to the doublet lens in the traditional lens, the two lenses have the same dispersion coefficient sign, and the chromatic aberration is reduced by the dispersion coefficient size and the radius of curvature.
[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, according to the functions that the metasurface optical device needs to realize, the array mode of nanocolumns is calculated through the database. The nanocolumns can be arranged alternately or periodically. Two different nanocolumns correspond to two different optical functions. The difference in the optical function of the nanocolumns mainly depends on the shape and material of the column. Different preset functions can be realized by different materials, structures, positions, shapes, periods, arrangements, heights, etc. of the nanocolumns.
[0051] In this embodiment, multiple nanocolumns are arranged on the substrate according to an array preset in a database. The light beam can be incident from any angle and emerge after penetrating the metasurface optical device. After the light beam is incident on the metasurface optical device, the materials and shapes of different nanocolumns are different. Nanocolumns of a certain material can be optimized for a specific wavelength of light, which can reduce dispersion or change the refraction and diffraction effects. Different refractive indices and dispersion coefficients of different materials can be combined in a variety of ways to reduce or increase the dispersion of the incident light, thereby realizing light convergence, divergence, transmission, reflection, polarization, etc.
[0052] It can be seen that by adopting this embodiment, a metasurface optical device is provided, in which all nanocolumns are composed of at least two materials, and the refractive index and dispersion coefficient of different materials are different. When light passes through the nanocolumns, different refraction and diffraction effects will be produced. Through the diversified arrangement and combination of nanocolumns made of different materials, the wavefront of the outgoing light is modulated, including but not limited to reducing or increasing chromatic aberration, polarization, amplitude, frequency, etc., thereby realizing the preset function better than a metasurface device made of a single material.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the materials of the plurality of nanorods include at least two types, including:
[0054] The material of any nano-column in the first part of the plurality of nano-columns is the same material, and the material of any nano-column in the second part of the plurality of nano-columns is different from the first material.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the material of any nanorod in the second portion of nanorods is a single material, and the single material is different from the first material.
[0057] In this embodiment, the second part of nanocolumns includes at least one nanocolumn, and the specific number should be determined according to the functional design of the metasurface optical device; each nanocolumn in the second part of nanocolumns is composed of only one material, and all nanocolumns in the second part of nanocolumns can include different materials; the array mode of the nanocolumns in the second part and the nanocolumns in the first part are diversified, and the nanocolumns of different materials can be arranged alternately, or one area can be nanocolumns of the same material, and another area can be nanocolumns of another material, such as Figure 2 As shown, both parts of the nanorods are made of a single material, and the array pattern includes but is not limited to that shown in the figure.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, any nanorod in the second portion of nanorods comprises at least two materials.
[0059] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each nanocolumn in the second part of the nanocolumns includes at least two materials. The materials included in each nanocolumn in the second part of the nanocolumns can be different from each other, or they can be exactly the same nanocolumns. Similarly, the array modes of the nanocolumns in the second part and the nanocolumns in the first part are diverse. Nanocolumns with different structures can be arranged alternately, or one area can have nanocolumns with the same structure, and another area can have nanocolumns with another structure.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the materials of the plurality of nanorods include at least two types, including:
[0061] Any nano-pillar among the plurality of nano-pillars includes at least two materials.
[0062] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, each of the nanocolumns on the metasurface optical device includes at least two materials. The materials included in each nanocolumn can be different or they can be exactly the same nanocolumns. The array modes of nanocolumns with different structures are diverse and need to be distributed according to preset functions.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the nanocolumn includes at least two materials, the nanocolumn includes: the at least two materials are arranged layer by layer in a direction perpendicular to the end face of the substrate to form a column, or the at least two materials are combined in a direction perpendicular to the end face of the substrate to form a column.
[0064] In this embodiment, when a nanocolumn includes at least two materials, the arrangement of different materials includes the following two types: the first type is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , different materials are arranged in sequence along a direction perpendicular to the end surface of the substrate, and the arrangement order of different materials is determined according to the optical function of each nanorod; the second type, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, different materials are vertically arranged on the end surface of the substrate, the outer material is the same material, which is different from the inner material, and can be a sandwich structure or a ring-shaped surrounding structure, in which the outer material surrounds the inner material in a ring.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the nanocolumn comprises: a column formed by arranging the at least two materials layer by layer in a direction perpendicular to the end face of the substrate, or a column formed by combining the at least two materials in a direction perpendicular to the end face of the substrate, comprising:

The column core is composed of a single material, or is composed of at least two materials layer by layer along a direction perpendicular to the end surface of the substrate.
[0068] In this embodiment, when a nanocolumn includes at least two materials, and the at least two materials are combined and arranged in a direction perpendicular to the end surface of the substrate, such as Figure 4 As shown, the nanocolumn is divided into a coating layer and a column core. The coating layer is made of the same material and different from the column core. The column core can be a nanocolumn made of a single material or a nanocolumn made of different materials. The column core can be Figure 2 and Figure 3Any one of the nanocolumns shown, but not limited to the ones shown in the figure. The wrapping layer can be divided into two parts and arranged on both sides of the column core to form a sandwich structure, or it can be an annular structure arranged outside the column core, or it can be an annular structure with one or more gaps, but not limited to the above.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the light absorptivity of the at least two materials is less than a preset value, and the refractive index of the at least two materials to light is different.
[0070] In this embodiment, all materials should have no light absorption or an absorption less than a preset value. Only when the materials have no light absorption will they not affect the incidence and emission of light.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the shape of any material of any nanorod among the plurality of nanorods includes: circle, square, star, ring, pentagon and hexagon.
[0072] In this embodiment, the column shape of each nanocolumn is determined according to the function of the metasurface optical device. When the nanocolumn includes multiple materials stacked in layers, each layer of material can correspond to a different shape. For example, a nanocolumn has two layers, which can be a structure of a cylindrical bottom and a square top. Another nanocolumn can be a structure of a pentagon bottom and a hexagon top. The shape of the nanocolumn includes but is not limited to a circle, square, star, ring, pentagon and hexagon. The shape of each nanocolumn is determined according to the difficulty of the manufacturing process and the preset function. The arrangement of nanocolumns of different shapes is diversified.

When light passes through the nanocolumns, it will produce different refraction and diffraction effects. Through the different materials, structures, positions, shapes, periods, arrangements, etc. of the nanocolumns, the wavefront of the outgoing light is modulated, including but not limited to reducing or increasing chromatic aberration, modulating polarization, amplitude, frequency, etc., to achieve different preset functions.

Figure 6 In the method, the first material is first plated on the substrate so that the first material covers the entire end face of the substrate. Some sacrificial materials and photolithography materials are also included on the first material.
