Abstract

This paper provides a mathematical approach to study chromatic aberration in metalenses. It is shown that radiation of a given wavelength is refracted according to a generalized Snell's law which together with the notion of envelope yields the existence of phase discontinuities. This is then used to establish a quantitative measure of dispersion in metalenses concluding that in the visible spectrum it has the same order of magnitude as for standard lenses.
