Escalated deep-subwavelength acoustic imaging with field enhancement inside a metalens by Chen, Jian, Sun, Zeqing, Rao, Jing, Lisevych, Danylo, Fan, Zheng

“…However, the imaging mechanism under unity transmission based on Fabry-Perot resonances means the metalens fundamentally suffers from narrow bandwidth and limited deep-subwavelength contrast, and therefore further advancement of deepsubwavelength imaging has been stalled. Here we break the barriers for deep-subwavelength acoustic imaging comprehensively in spatial resolution, resolving contrast, and working bandwidth, by exploiting field enhancement inside the metalens. …”
