High tolerance detour-phase graphene-oxide flat lens

Flat lenses thinner than a wavelength promise to replace conventional refractive lenses in miniaturized optical systems. However, Fresnel zone plate flat lens designs require dense annuli, which significantly challenges nano-fabrication resolution. Herein, we propose a new implementation of detour phase graphene flat lens with flexible annular number and width. Several graphene metalenses demonstrated that with a flexible selection of the line density and width, the metalenses can achieve the same focal length without significant distortions. This will significantly weaken the requirement of the nanofabrication system which is important for the development of large-scale flat lenses in industry applications. (C) 2021 Chinese Laser Press

Automated summary

The new implementation of detour phase graphene flat lens allows for flexible adjustment of annular number and width, achieving the same focal length without significant distortions. This can significantly weaken the requirement of the nanofabrication system, which is important for the development of large-scale flat lenses in industry applications.
