Abstract
Metalenses possess the extraordinary capability to tailor the wavefront of light with compact metastructures. However, it remains challenging to eliminate chromatic aberration and realize multifunctionality. Here we report an achromatic bifocal metalens (ABM) made of three-dimensional standing nano blocks (SNBs). By introducing a height gradient to SNBs, the ABM can achieve achromatic focusing in the wavelength range of 760–1550 nm with two different focal lengths by merely orthogonally switching the linear polarization of the incident beam. Such an achromatic multi-functional element may have applications in polarization sensing/display and shared-aperture optics design, among many others.
