Reconfigurable metalenses capable of large focal length tuning, fast response times, and high focusing efficiency while maintaining diffraction-limited operation are highly desirable for next-generation adaptive imaging systems. Phase…
Metalenses can achieve diffraction-limited focusing through localized phase manipulation of the incoming light beam. Because these structures are ultrathin, less than a wavelength, this has the potential of achieving ultrathin optical…
Reconfigurable metasurfaces offer great promises to enhance photonics technology by combining integration with improved functionalities. Recently, reconfigurability in otherwise static metasurfaces has been achieved by modifying the…
Thanks to the compact design and multi-functional light-manipulation capabilities, reconfigurable metalenses, which consist of arrays of sub-wavelength meta-atoms, offer unique opportunities for advanced optical systems, from microscopy to…
This study formulates a volumetric inverse-design methodology to generate a pair of complementary focusing metalenses for terahertz imaging: the two lenses exhibit equal and opposite shifts in focal length with frequency. An asymmetry…
We present full-Maxwell topology-optimization design of a single-piece multlayer metalens, about 10 wavelengths~$\lambda$ in thickness, that simultaneously focuses over a $60^\circ$ angular range and a 23\% spectral bandwidth without…
Wide-angle optical functionality is crucial for implementation of advanced imaging and image projection devices. Conventionally, wide-angle operation is attained by complicated assembly of multiple optical elements. Recent advances in…
We demonstrate new axisymmetric inverse-design techniques that can solve problems radically different from traditional lenses, including \emph{reconfigurable} lenses (that shift a multi-frequency focal spot in response to refractive-index…
Design of a conventional zoom lens is always challengeable because it requires not only sophisticated optical design strategy, but also complex and precise mechanical structures for lens adjustment. In this paper, we propose a continuous…
Metasurface-based lenses (metalenses) offer specific conceptual advantages compared to ordinary refractive lenses. For example, it is possible to tune the focal length of a metalens doublet by varying the relative angle between the two…

Metalenses, advanced nanostructured alternatives to conventional lenses, significantly enhance the compactness and functionality of optical systems. Despite progress in monochromatic applications, scaling metalenses to centimeter-sized…
Metasurface lenses, namely metalenses, are ultrathin planar nanostructures that are capable of manipulating the properties of incoming light and imparting lens-like wavefront to the output. Although they have shown promising potentials for…
Metalens, as the most promising and applicable emerging optical device, has long been constrained by the limited field of view (FOV). Recent studies employing phase engineering or multi-layer strategies have made some progress, but they all…
We demonstrate a high-NA (0.88), ultra-low-f-number (f/0.2714), multi-wavelength (480nm, 550nm and 650nm) multilevel diffractive MicroLens Array (MLA) using inverse design. Each microlens in the array is close-packed with diameter of 70…
This paper reports an experimental demonstration of moir\'e metalens which shows wide focal length tunability from negative to positive by mutual angle rotation at the wavelength of 900 nm. The moir\'e metalens was developed using high…
This is the second article in a series of two dealing with the concept of "resonant metalens" we introduced recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 203901 (2010)]. It is a new type of lens capable of coding in time and radiating efficiently in the…
Multi-foci metalenses with uniform focal arrays attract special attention as they enable a single incident beam to focus on the same focal plane and share the identical numerical apertures. In this work, we demonstrate the scalable…
