Background:

Achromatic metalenses are crucial for integrated imaging and augmented/virtual reality.
Existing achromatic metalenses often require complex nanostructures to compensate for linear phase dispersion.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and demonstrate a polarization-insensitive achromatic metalens (PIA-ML) using computational wavefront coding.
To overcome the limitations of complex nanostructures in current achromatic metalens designs.

Main Methods:

Utilized computational wavefront coding with simple circular or square nanopillars.
Optimized the PIA-ML using a particle swarm optimization algorithm for the 1300-1700nm optical communication band.
Ensured focal depth overlap at the designed focal plane for wavelengths at the ends of the achromatic bandwidth.

Main Results:

Successfully fabricated and experimentally demonstrated a polarization-insensitive achromatic metalens.
Achieved broadband achromatic imaging across the full optical communication band (1300-1700nm).
Experimental focusing and imaging results matched theoretical predictions.

Conclusions:

Computational wavefront coding offers a new methodology for ultra-broadband achromatic imaging.
Simple-shaped nanostructures can be effectively used for advanced achromatic metalens applications.
The developed PIA-ML is suitable for various applications requiring broadband achromatic imaging.
