Low-Contrast Dielectric Metasurface Optics
Open accessAbstract
The miniaturization of current image sensors is largely limited by the volume of the optical elements. Using a subwavelength-patterned quasi-periodic structure, also known as a metasurface, one can build planar optical elements based on the principle of diffraction. Recent demonstrations of high-quality metasurface optical elements are mostly based on high-refractive-index materials. Here, we present a design of low-contrast metasurface-based optical elements. We fabricate and experimentally characterize several silicon nitride-based lenses and vortex beam generators. The fabricated lenses achieved beam spots of less than 1 μm with numerical apertures as high as ∼0.75. We observed a transmission efficiency of 90% and focusing efficiency of 40% in the visible regime. Our results pave the way toward building low-loss metasurface-based optical elements at visible frequencies using low-contrast materials and extend the range of prospective material systems for metasurface optics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
