Wide field-of-view flat lens: an analytical formalism
Abstract
Wide field-of-view (FOV) optics are widely used in various imaging, display, and sensing applications. While conventional wide FOV optics rely on cascading multiple elements to suppress coma and other aberrations, it has recently been demonstrated that diffraction-limited, near-180 degree FOV operation can be achieved with a single-piece flat fisheye lens designed via iterative numerical optimization [Nano Lett. 20, 7429(2020)]. Here we derive an analytical solution to enable computationally efficient design of flat wide FOV lenses based on metasurfaces or diffractive optical elements (DOEs). Leveraging this analytical approach, we further quantified trade-offs between optical performance and design parameters in wide FOV metalenses.
