ABSTRACT
A polarization-dependent metasurface that consists of nanobrick arrays with spatial varying dimensions in two orthogonal directions has shown independent phase control ability, which paves a new way to design reconfigurable step-zoom lens different focal lengths depending on the polarization states an incident beam. In this paper, we report highly integrated metalens dual based double-sided metasurfaces sitting transparent substrate. By assigning power and balancing aberrations between front rear metasurfaces, large field-of-view ( ± 20°) corrected for monochromatic was designed, its high performance (nearly diffraction-limited image quality both on-axis off-axis imaging) verified by full-wave numerical simulations. More interestingly, plane designed keeps unchanged after zoom switching, will bring great convenience practical applications. With advantages such as ultra-compactness, flexibility, simplicity, proposed indicates potential fields require imaging beam focusing without optical mechanical compensations.
