A high-efficiency dual-wavelength achromatic metalens based on Pancharatnam-Berry phase manipulation

The application of metasurfaces requires the reduction or elimination of their chromatic aberration while maintaining a high efficiency. We propose a method for the design of dual-wavelength operating achromatic metalenses, which can focus two different wavelengths at the same position. Phase manipulation was achieved by crossing two crystalline Si nanorods on each pixel carrying phase information for wavelengths of 780 and 660 nm based on the principal of Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase. At 660 nm, chromatic aberration was reduced from 1.28 to 0.46 mu m in numerical experiments. The focusing efficiency of the circularly polarized light reached 90.2% for 780 nm and 49.7% for 660 nm. This method can be extended to other wavelengths. (C) 2018 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
