Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Materials Science
  • Astronomy

Background:

  • Metalenses offer a paradigm shift for optical devices but are limited by small aperture sizes due to fabrication constraints.
  • Current metalens fabrication methods restrict their use in practical large-scale optical systems like telescopes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a high-efficiency, single-lens, refractive metalens telescope with a large aperture.
  • To develop a mass-producible fabrication workflow for wafer-scale metalenses.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of wafer-scale (80 mm aperture) metalenses using deep-ultraviolet (DUV) photolithography.
  • Characterization of metalens performance in the near-infrared region, including focal spot size and focusing efficiency.
  • Construction of a single-lens telescope utilizing the fabricated metalens.

Main Results:

  • Achieved nearly diffraction-limited focal spot sizes with a peak focusing efficiency of 80.84% at 1450 nm.
  • Successfully built and tested a single-lens metalens telescope.
  • Acquired clear images of the lunar surface, resolving geographical structures.

Conclusions:

  • The developed metalens telescope demonstrates the potential of metasurfaces for large optical systems.
  • This technology opens new possibilities for geosciences, planetary observation, and astrophysical science.
  • Mass-producible, large-aperture metalenses are feasible and can revolutionize optical instrumentation.
