Description
Summary:Metalenses have attracted much attention from researchers because they are thin, multifunctional and easy to integrate. However, due to the limitation of fabrication techniques and the influence of working wavelength, it is difficult to realize a large aperture. In this paper, we design and simulate polarization-insensitive, orthogonal linearly polarized and orthogonal circularly polarized synthetic aperture metalenses. We use a synthetic aperture to improve the cutoff frequency of the metalens and achieve an equivalent large-aperture metalens. We compare the modulation transfer function and focusing efficiency of synthetic aperture metalenses with different array structures. This work provides an effective solution to the needs of large-aperture metalenses, and metalenses with different polarizations can play an important role in polarization imaging.
