[0015] Please refer to figure 1 , figure 1 The flowchart of the design method of the polarization detection metasurface provided by the embodiment of the present application; As figure 1 shown, the method comprises steps S101-S105.

[0016] S101. Establish a microstructure model of the metasurface and scan the phase delay of microstructures with different geometric dimensions under x and y polarization using a full-wave simulation algorithm.

[0017] In step S101, the metasurface consists of a substrate layer and multiple microstructures. This metasurface is suitable for multiple wavelength bands, including ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared. The substrate layer is made of a material that is transparent to the designed wavelength band, and its refractive index must be lower than that of the microstructure material. The thickness of the substrate layer can be flexibly adjusted according to specific needs, and can be arbitrarily selected within the range of 0.3 mm to 3 mm. The multiple microstructures are arranged in an array. By adjusting the type, size, and arrangement of the microstructures, the phase distribution of the metasurface can be changed, and its phase change range is between 0 and 2π. In addition, materials with a refractive index lower than that of the microstructures can be selectively used to fill the gaps between the superlens microstructures to achieve effective protection of the microstructures.

[0018] In step S101, the length and width of each microstructure are scanned using the finite-difference time-domain method, thus obtaining the dimensions of microstructures with different geometric sizes. x and y Phase delay under polarization. Phase delay refers to the phase delay of a microstructure under different polarizations (light). x polarization and y Under polarized illumination, the phase distribution characteristics of the emitted light wavefront vary with geometric dimensions. By using the finite-difference time-domain method for scanning calculations, the quantitative relationship between each microstructure dimension parameter and the phase delay can be accurately obtained, providing fundamental data for the subsequent optimized design of the metasurface phase distribution. This process requires consideration of the substrate material properties and the microstructure array arrangement to ensure that the phase change range covers the complete period from 0 to 2π.

[0019] S102. Specify the two sets of orthogonal polarization states to be separated and their target propagation angles. Calculate the supercell size and the number of microstructures contained within it based on the target propagation angles, and confirm the required polarization beam splitting targets for the two sets of orthogonal polarization states. The supercell, composed of multiple microstructures, is the smallest unit for achieving polarization separation.

[0020] For step S102, the specific components include: Specify two sets of orthogonal polarization states to be separated and their target propagation angles, wherein each set of orthogonal polarization states is symmetrically distributed with respect to the propagation direction. According to the diffraction grating formula d i sin theta i = m lambda Calculating supercell size d , among which, among which i For supercells in x or yinformation of the direction, theta for a specific polarization in x or y the direction, m is the diffraction order, lambda is the wavelength of the incident light; according to the formula N i = round ( d i / p i ) to calculate the number of microstructures contained in the supercell, wherein, N i is the number of microstructures in the x or y direction, p i is the period size of a single microstructure in the x or y direction, round indicates rounding off; According to the calculated supercell size and the number of microstructures contained therein, the polarization beam splitting target required under two orthogonal polarization states is confirmed.

[0021] In the specific scheme of this step S102, the diffraction grating formula is introduced to determine the size of the supercell in the x or y direction, and then the number of microstructures in this direction is determined by rounding off, thereby ensuring the matching between the physical size of the supercell and the optical function, which is the premise of realizing the polarization beam splitting target.

[0022] S103, calculate the Jones matrix of each microstructure in the supercell according to the phase delay, and select a set of microstructure parameters as the initial solution of the super surface optimization.

[0023] For step S103, specifically includes: According to the phase delay obtained in step S101, the Jones matrix of each position in the supercell is calculated, and the relationship between the Jones matrix and the phase delay of the microstructure is as follows: ; wherein, J indicates the Jones matrix; R indicates the rotation matrix; theta meta is the rotation angle of the microstructure, i indicates the imaginary unit; e iφx and e iφy indicate the complex exponential function, which are used to represent the phase delay; phix , phi y They are respectively x , y Phase delay in direction, phase delay and the length of microstructure l With width w Related; By adjusting the size of the microstructure to control the phase delay in two directions, a set of microstructure parameters obtained by full-wave simulation algorithm is selected as the initial solution for metasurface optimization.

[0024] In the specific scheme of step S103, the Jones matrix is ​​a tool for describing the influence of optical elements on polarized light transmission. This step involves microstructures... x and y The phase delay and rotation angle of the direction are used to construct the metasurface, which can reflect the metasurface's ability to control the polarization state. This can be achieved by adjusting the size (length) of the microstructure. l Hekuan w The phase of the two orthogonal polarization directions can be independently adjusted, thus providing support for realizing the polarization beam splitting function. The selection of the initial solution is based on the scanning results of the full-wave simulation in step S101, providing a reasonable starting point for the subsequent optimization process.

[0025] S104. Based on the initial solution, establish a supercell model and perform forward propagation simulation to obtain the diffraction order intensity distribution under two sets of orthogonal polarization. After constructing a loss function and performing iterative optimization, the optimal supercell structure that satisfies the polarization beam splitting objective is obtained.

[0026] For step S104, the specific components include: The initial solution of the Jones matrix is ​​mapped to the length, width and rotation angle of the corresponding microstructure to establish the corresponding supercell model. Vector full-wave forward propagation simulation is performed under the periodic boundary to obtain the diffraction order intensity distribution under the corresponding two sets of orthogonal polarization. Calculate the loss function of the diffraction order intensity distribution under two sets of orthogonal polarizations and the target diffraction order. L The geometric parameters and rotation angle of the microstructure of the supercell model are iteratively optimized using a genetic algorithm or a stochastic gradient descent algorithm to obtain the optimal supercell structure that satisfies the polarization beam splitting objective. Among them, the loss function L for: ; in, I simulation The ( ) obtained from simulations under each polarization i , j ) diffraction order intensity distribution; I design For the designed ( i , j) diffraction order intensity distribution; i and j Index for diffraction order; N x and N y They are respectively x direction and y The total number of diffraction orders in the direction.

[0027] The specific implementation scheme of step S104 provides a concrete method for the optimization process, including establishing a supercell model based on the Jones matrix, performing forward propagation simulation to obtain the diffraction intensity distribution, and constructing a loss function (such as the mean square error function) to measure the difference between the simulation results and the design target. The geometric parameters and rotation angle of the microstructure are iteratively optimized using intelligent optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms or stochastic gradient descent, ultimately obtaining a supercell structure that meets the polarization beam splitting requirements. The advantage of this approach is that it can transform a complex multi-parameter optimization problem into a computable optimization objective.

[0028] S105. The optimal supercell structure is extended in two dimensions to form a complete metasurface structure, thereby realizing the spatial separation and detection of the polarization state of incident light.

[0029] Step S105 specifically includes: taking the optimal supercell as a basic unit, performing translation, replication and arrangement on a two-dimensional plane to form a complete metasurface structure, so as to realize the spatial separation and detection of the polarization state of the incident light.

[0030] In summary, the forward propagation method using the Jones matrix proposed in this application can separate two sets of non-orthogonal polarization states in the spatial propagation direction using a single supercell. Each microstructure in the supercell plays a beneficial deflection role in the separation of these polarization states, thus avoiding the high crosstalk problem of simply using the space-division multiplexing method to construct a supercell. Furthermore, the array structure constructed using this scheme is much smaller than the minimum structure required by the space-division multiplexing method, increasing the imaging resolution.

[0031] Based on the design method of the polarization detection metasurface provided in the above embodiments, the metasurface structure obtained in this application has a working wavelength of 600-650 nm. The metasurface structure can deflect 0° polarization, 90° polarization, 45° polarization, and 135° polarization to four different directions in space, with the following effect: figure 2 As shown. The specific design process of the metasurface structure is as follows: First, establish such figure 3 The microstructure model shown uses silicon dioxide as the substrate material and titanium dioxide as the microstructure model material. The thickness of the substrate can be arbitrarily selected between 0.3 mm and 3 mm. The period of the microstructure model... p400nm, the height of the microstructure model h 800nm. By using full-wave simulation algorithm, the phase retardation of the microstructure at the rotation angle theta meta =0° is scanned in the length and width directions, and the phase retardation of the microstructures with different geometric sizes in the x and y polarizations is obtained x and y polarization states, and the results are shown in figure 4

[0032] Secondly, two sets of orthogonal polarization states and their target propagation angles are determined, and the target propagation angles are respectively set as (10°, 0°), (-10°, 0°), (0°, 10°) and (0°, -10°). According to the calculation, the number of microstructures in the supercell is 9*9, and the target diffraction order distribution is shown in figure 5 Finally, according to the target diffraction order and the phase retardation of the microstructure, the supercell is optimized according to the loss function L , and the algorithm used is the stochastic gradient descent algorithm. The optimized results are shown in figure 6 , and each microstructure in the supercell has a unique length and width geometric size and rotation angle. After the four polarized lights pass through the supercell modulation, the diffraction order distribution is shown in figure 7 , and it can be seen that the crosstalk between the diffraction orders is extremely low (<3%), and the accuracy of the polarization detection can be ensured through calibration. The supercell is arranged in a period, and the final complete metasurface is constructed to realize the polarization detection function.

[0035] The phase retardation acquisition unit 801 is used to establish a microstructure model of the metasurface, and the phase retardation of the microstructures with different geometric sizes in the x and y polarizations is scanned by using a full-wave simulation algorithm; The microstructure calculation unit 802 is used to specify two sets of orthogonal polarization states to be separated and their target propagation angles, to calculate the supercell size and the number of microstructures contained therein according to the target propagation angles, and to confirm the polarization beam splitting targets required in the two sets of orthogonal polarization states. ​​The matrix calculation unit 803 is configured to calculate the Jones matrix of each microstructure in the supercell according to the phase delay, and select a group of microstructure parameters as an initial solution for optimization of the metasurface; The supercell calculation unit 804 is configured to establish a supercell model according to the initial solution, perform forward propagation simulation, obtain diffraction order intensity distribution under two orthogonal polarizations, and construct a loss function for iterative optimization, and obtain an optimal supercell structure meeting the polarization beam splitting target; The metasurface generation unit 805 is configured to perform two-dimensional periodic expansion on the optimal supercell structure to form a complete metasurface structure, and realize spatial separation and detection of the incident light polarization state.

[0036] The system can integrate the polarization beam splitting function in a supercell unit, cooperatively control the geometric parameters and rotation angles of each microstructure through an optimization algorithm, realize efficient separation of multiple polarization states on a single metasurface, avoid the crosstalk problem in the traditional space division multiplexing mode, and improve the spatial resolution.

[0038] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
