Dispersive Sweatt Model for Broadband Lens Design with Metasurfaces by Weiyu Chen, Ko-Han Shih, C. Kyle Renshaw

“…The Sweatt model has been extensively used to design optical systems containing diffractive optical elements (DOEs) because it captures the dispersive characteristics of DOEs. We introduce a new dispersive Sweatt model (DSM) that can describe meta-atom (MA) dispersion, which has material and geometric contributions in addition to diffraction. …”
