摘要: Configurations for a beam deflector metasurface are disclosed. The beam deflector metasurface may include beam deflectors arranged in a repeating, radial pattern of concentric zones. The beam deflector metasurface may be a large area, high numerical aperture metasurface optic with high efficiency when directing light at non-normal angles of incidence. The different concentric zones may direct received light in varying directions with various steepness of angles. The beam deflectors may include pillars that may be the same or different width, height, or shape. The pillars may function as diffractive gratings and the cross-coupling between the pillars may direct the output light. The zones of the beam deflector metasurface may allow for diffusing hot spots and spreading the light evenly over the target area. The beam deflector metasurface may be used for non-imaging applications where the deterioration of focus allows for better efficiency at non-normal input and output angles of incidence. The beam deflectors may be designed for polarization and wavelength sensitivity as well as allowing for multiple processing benefits such as patterning the beam deflectors onto active devices.

摘要: A device (200) is proposed comprising a first part (101) of a first material having a first refractive index n1 and a second part (102) of a second material having a second refractive index n2 higher than n1. Such device further comprises at least one contact area (110) in between the first and second parts, radiating an outgoing electromagnetic wave (100o) when the device is illuminated by an incoming electromagnetic wave (100i). A projection of the at least one contact area along a direction of propagation of the incoming electromagnetic wave has a non-vanishing height lower than 1.2 times a critical height equal to a wavelength in vacuum of the incoming electromagnetic wave divided by the difference between the second refractive index n2 and the first refractive index n1.

摘要: The present invention relates to an optical filter with nanostructured layers and spectral sensors with layers of such kind. The optical filter has at least two nanostructured layers, each of which forms a transmission grating from grating wires extending parallel to each other. The grating wires of the two transmission gratings intersect each other and are positioned one on top of the other in the optical filter. An optical polarise which polarises incident optical radiation linearly parallel to the grating wires of one of the two transmission gratings is arranged over the transmission gratings. The optical filter can be produced as a bandpass filter with standard semiconductor processes without additional layers or modification of said processes.

摘要: Multi-wavelength light is directed to an optic including a substrate and metasurface optical components deposited on a surface of the substrate. The metasurface optical components comprise a pattern of silicon dielectric resonators with nonperiodic gap distances between adjacent dielectric resonators. Incident light directed to the metasurface optical components is scattered and phase-shifted by the configuration of the gap distances and the widths and thicknesses of the dielectric resonators. Each dielectric resonator has a rectangular cross-section 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.

摘要: A rainbow artifact mitigation system includes an angular dependent filter configured to receive light and to transmit light according to one or more angular transmission functions. The one or more angular transmission functions define light transmission as a function of incident angle for the angular dependent filter, The angular dependent filter is configured to at least partially mitigate transmission of light for at least some incident angles above 40°. The angular dependent filter comprises a plurality of nanostructures, and the nanostructures of the plurality of nanostructures are arranged in an array with one or more sub-wavelength periods. The one or more angular transmission functions comprise at least two different angular transmission functions for different regions of the angular dependent filter.
