Abstract

An optical element includes: a metalens having a finely shaped surface on which a fine pattern is formed based on a shape of a meta-atom and a bonded surface formed in a flat shape; and a bonding lens having a feature equivalent to an existing lens and being bonded to the bonded surface. For example, the bonding lens includes: a first glass material bonded to the bonded surface; and a second glass material separated from the bonded surface and bonded to the first glass material. For example, an optical design method includes: a setting step of setting, based on optical design of a configuration including binary optics replacing a feature of the metalens, a first step pattern of the binary optics; a first calculation step; and a first identification step.
