摘要
切趾在成像和光通信领域得到了重要的应用。传统的切趾方法基于相位或者振幅调制,存在工作带宽窄或者分辨力低的问题。本文提出了一种宽带消色差的超表面滤波器,可以在不损失空间分辨力的情况下实现切趾成像。通过该滤波器在整个可见光波段完成了几乎无色散的相位调制。仿真结果表明,超表面滤波器的聚焦效率是相位滤波器的两倍;其成像对比度可以提升至高斯滤波器的三倍。通过我们的方法,在400 nm到700 nm的可见光波段内,点扩散函数的旁瓣能被压缩到10-5数量级,同时能够实现衍射极限甚至超衍射的分辨力。
Abstract
Apodization has found many important applications in imaging and optical communication. Traditional apodization methods are based on the phase or amplitude modulation, suffering from either narrow working bandwidth, or reduced spatial resolution. Here, a broadband achromatic metasurface filter is proposed to realize apodization imaging without sacrificing the spatial resolution. With this filter, a nearly dispersionless phase modulation in the entire visible waveband can be achieved. The simulated results indicate that the focusing efficiency of the metasurface filter is twice larger than that of the phase filter and the imaging contrast can be improved by three times with the metasurface filter compared to the Gaussian filter. The sidelobes in the point spread function can also be efficiently suppressed to the scale of 10-5 in the whole visible spectrum ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm with our design. Additionally, the resolution of diffraction limit or even sub-diffraction can be achieved with this method.

Overview
Overview: Apodization is an effective way to relieve the influence of sidelobes in the point spread function of an imaging system, and has found many significant applications in imaging and optical communication, such as the coronagraphs in astronomical field and spectral tailoring in silicon integrated Bragg grating devices. Traditional apodization methods are based on the phase or amplitude modulation. By introducing mask with specially designed transmittance or diffractive optical element to the pupil plane of an imaging system, the sidelobes in the diffraction pattern are well suppressed so that weak details can be distinguished. However, these methods suffer from either narrow working bandwidth or reduced spatial resolution. Recently, as one kind of artificially structured materials, the metasurfaces have drawn much attention because they can manipulate light field at the subwavelength scale. Among them, the metasurface based on the geometric phase principle has been applied in achromatic imaging, broadband hologram, orbit angular momentum beam, and so on, which provides a new approach to modulate the electromagnetic field flexibly in a broadband spectrum. Benefiting from the broadband dispersionless phase modulation, the metasurface also brings another access for apodization imaging. In this paper, a metasurface apodization filter is proposed to realize broadband achromatic apodization imaging. With this filter, the nearly dispersionless phase modulation in the entire visible waveband can be achieved. The simulated results indicate that, compared to phase apodization filter, the working bandwidth can be improved from 10 nm to 300 nm with metasurface apodization filter. Moreover, the focusing efficiency of metasurface apodization filter is twice larger than that of the phase apodization filter. The sidelobes in the point spread function can be efficiently suppressed to the scale of 10-5 with our design, which helps to resolving point-objects with large intensity contrast. Additionally, the resolution of diffraction limit or even sub-diffraction can be achieved with increased imaging contrast by using this method compared to traditional Gaussian apodization filter. The metasurface apodization filter offers a promising alternative for apodization imaging and potentially promotes further developments in the field like astronomical observation, spectrum detection, and optical communication.
