Abstract
Systems and methods which provide single nanostructure-integrated metalens configurations implementing light focusing functionality are described. A single nanostructure-integrated metalens may comprise an optical substrate having a preconfigured mapping of integrated nanostructures providing metasurfaces for modulating the behaviors of electromagnetic waves to implement a thin, flat lens. A period distance for the nanostructures, a height of the nanostructures, and a quantization for lateral sizes of the nanostructures may be selected for a particular single nanostructure-integrated metalens configuration. One or more phase maps configured for light focusing may be computed with respect to one or more design wavelengths selected for focusing. The consolidated phase retardation requirements of the one ore more phase maps may be satisfied by a preconfigured mapping which defines the phase distribution for the nanostructures of a single nanostructure-integrated metalens implementation.
