Abstract
En 中文
Optical metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of meta-atoms that modify different characteristics of light such as phase, amplitude, and polarization. One intriguing feature that distinguishes them from conventional optical components is their multifunctional capability. However, multifunctional metasurfaces with efficiencies approaching those of their single-functional counterparts require more degrees of freedom. Here we show that 2.5D metastructures, which are stacked layers of interacting metasurface layers, provide sufficient degrees of freedom to implement efficient multifunctional devices. The large number of design parameters and their intricate intercoupling make the design of multifunctional 2.5D metastructures a complex task, and unit-cell approaches to metasurface design produce suboptimal devices. We address this issue by designing 2.5D metastructures using the adjoint optimization technique. Instead of designing unit cells individually, our technique considers the structure as a whole, accurately accounting for inter-post and inter-layer coupling. As proof of concept, we experimentally demonstrate a double-wavelength metastructure, designed using adjoint optimization, that has significantly higher efficiencies than a similar device designed with a simplified approach conventionally used in metasurface design. The 2.5D metastructure architecture empowered by the optimization-based design technique is a general platform for realizing high-performance multifunctional components and systems.
