    Abstract: Lighting devices including metalenses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the metalenses are in the form of a hybrid multi-region collimating metalens that includes a first region and a second region, wherein the hybrid multi-region collimating metalens is configured to collimate (e.g., visible) light incident thereon. In some instances the first region includes an array of first unit cells that contain sub-wavelength spaced nanostructures, such that the first region functions as a sub-wavelength high contrast grating (SWHCG), whereas the second region includes an array of second unit cell, wherein the array of second unit cells includes a near periodic annular arrangement of nanostructures such that the second region approximates the functionality of a locally periodic radial diffraction grating.

    Abstract: Metasurface optical components deposited on the surface of a substrate are used to alter incident light. The metasurface optical components comprise a pattern of silicon dielectric resonators that have nonperiodic gap distances between adjacent silicon dielectric resonators; and each silicon dielectric resonator is an elongated rectangular prism that has a width, a length, and a thickness. Incident light is directed to the metasurface optical components, wherein the gap distances, the widths, and the thicknesses are configured to scatter the incident light and impart a phase shift, ranging at least from 0 to 2π, on an outgoing light. Each dielectric resonator has a rectangular cross-section in a plane perpendicular to the substrate surface such that a first phase shift is imparted for a transverse-electric (TE) component of the incident light and a second phase shift is imparted for a transverse-magnetic (TM) component of the incident light.
