    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods including polarization sorting metasurface microlens array devices. In certain embodiments, a polarization imaging device is provided. The polarization imaging device includes: a source of image light; a metasurface lenslet array comprising a plurality of repeating metasurface lenslets, where the plurality of repeating metasurface lenslets comprise a plurality of first metasurface lenslets configured to diffract the image light into a first polarization light in a first direction and a second polarization light in a second direction; an image sensor positioned in the optical path of the first polarization light and the second polarization light, and where the image sensor includes a plurality of image sensing units including a first image sensing unit positioned to sense the first polarization light and a second image sensing unit positioned to sense the second polarization light.

    摘要: Meta-surface devices may be advantageously used for miniaturization, planar and thin film, high spatial resolution, and dense integration into optical devices. They have the potential to be used for steering a beam propagation direction, shaping wave-front light, and imparting information for application such as sensing, imaging, light detection, and ranging. However, meta-surface devices may have poor overall efficiency when compared with traditional optical devices. Embodiments of this disclosure relate to meta-surface devices including a pattern of high-index pillars with a low-index coating. Advantageously, the low-index coating may improve optical efficiency of the meta-surface devices which may make these meta-surface devices suitable for a variety of applications.
