Design of achromatic hybrid metalens with secondary spectrum correction

Metasurface can be used in combination with singlet refractive lens to eliminate chromaticity, in which the metasurface usually works as a dispersion compensator. Such a kind of hybrid lens, however, usually has residual dispersion due to the limit of meta unit library. Here, we demonstrate a design method that considers the refraction element and metasurface together as a whole to achieve large scale achromatic hybrid lens with no residual dispersion. The tradeoff between the meta-unit library and the characteristics of resulting hybrid lenses is also discussed in detail. As a proof of concept, a centimeter scale achromatic hybrid lens is realized, which shows significant advantages over refractive lenses and hybrid lenses designed by previous methods. Our strategy would provide guidance for designing high-performance macroscopic achromatic metalenses.
