超広視野角・近回折限界解像度を有する10倍連続ズームメタレンズシステム

Moiré metalens is attractive for imaging applications due to their compact form factor and high zoom ratio. Here, we propose a novel Moiré zoom metalens system that achieves a continuous 10× zoom over a focal length range of 2.2-22 mm at 1,064 nm, while extending the full field of view up to 93°. A variable aperture, capable of axial translation, is introduced to jointly suppress aberrations and maintain a large aperture size with f-numbers ranging from 2.5 to 7.5. The system delivers near-diffraction-limited imaging resolution across the entire zoom and field-of-view range, with Strehl ratios exceeding 0.9. This level of performance is comparable to commercial optics and is rarely reported in metalens-based zoom systems. Remarkably, the total optical volume is only ∼4.2 × 32 mm, underscoring its potential for miniaturized imaging. Furthermore, we establish an integrated design and validation pipeline that strategically combines geometric optics, scalar diffraction, and vectorial electromagnetic theory. This multi-theory approach provides an efficient and generalizable pathway for the development of high-performance metalens systems.
