Portable astronomical observation system based on large-aperture concentric-ring metalens by Jianli Wang, Yongting Deng, Chengmiao Wang, Yu Lin, Yeming Han, Junchi Liu, Xiufeng Liu, Hongwen Li, Jan G. Korvink, Yongbo Deng

“…Nevertheless, as the application scenarios of metalenses extend to the macro-scale optical imaging field, a contradiction arises between the increasing demand for large-aperture metalenses and the synchronous rise in design and processing costs. In response to the application requirements of metalens with diameter reaching the order of 104 λ or even 105 λ, this paper proposes a novel design method for fixed-height concentric-ring metalenses, wherein, under the constraints of the processing technology, a subwavelength 2D building unit library is constructed based on different topological structures, and the overall cross-section of the metalens is assembled. …”
