Hybrid Metasurfaces for Simultaneous Focusing and Filtering

Optics 2020-09-22 v2

Abstract

This work presents the design and fabrication of simple, polymeric, structure-based optical filters that simultaneously focus light. These filters represent a novel design at the boundary between diffractive optics and metasurfaces that may provide significant advantages for both digital and hyperspectral imaging. The fabrication process for the proposed filters resembles 3D printing, and is based on direct laser writing of a polymeric material using two-photon lithography. In addition, printed structures could be used to create molds for nanoimprint replication and mass production. Filters for visible and near-infrared wavelengths were designed using finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations.
