The application provides a polarization-independent BIC
metal super surface optical
edge detection device and a design method, the method shows a simple and easy-to-process
metal super surface, the device can realize high-quality polarization-independent two-dimensional optical
edge detection with
high numerical aperture and high efficiency. The design scheme provided by the method takes
silicon dioxide as a substrate and C4 symmetric L-shaped
aluminum metal patch as a basic unit, adjusts and controls the
spatial dispersion of BIC by fine-tuning the perturbation parameters of the super surface, and realizes the polarization-independent second-order spatial differential operation. The design scheme works at a frequency of 0.6718 THz, the
numerical aperture (NA) can be as high as 0.56, the peak efficiency can be as high as 36%, and the high-quality
edge detection performance can be maintained. The work can realize compact, low-power and ultrafast optical edge detection, and shows great potential in various applications such as
optical imaging and
computer vision.
