Abstract
In recent years, wide field-of-view imaging technology based on a metasurface has been widely applied. However, works on the reported sub-diffraction metalens with a wide field-of-view indicate that multiple structures are essential to effectively eliminate aberrations, which results in a heavy device thickness and weakens the advantage of an ultra-thin metasurface. To solve this problem, according to the super-oscillation theory and the translational symmetry of quadratic phase, as well as the principle of virtual aperture diaphragm based on wave vector filter, this Letter demonstrates a sub-diffraction metalens combined with a single quadratic metalens and a wave vector filter. Our design not only realizes the super-resolution effects of 0.74 to 0.75 times the diffraction limit in the wide field-of-view of nearly 180° for the first time to our knowledge but also compresses the device thickness to the subwavelength order in principle. The proposed ultra-thin sub-diffraction metalens with a wide field-of-view is expected to be applied in the fields of super-resolution fast scanning imaging, information detection, small target recognition, and so on.
