Abstract
We propose an efficient inverse design approach for multifunctional optical elements based on adaptive deep diffractive neural networks (a-D2NNs). Specifically, we introduce a-D2NNs and design two-layer diffractive devices that can selectively focus incident radiation over two well-separated spectral bands at desired distances. We investigate focusing efficiencies at two wavelengths and achieve targeted spectral line shapes and spatial point-spread functions (PSFs) with optimal focusing efficiency. In particular, we demonstrate control of the spectral bandwidths at separate focal positions beyond the theoretical limit of single-lens devices with the same aperture size. Finally, we demonstrate devices that produce super-oscillatory focal spots at desired wavelengths. The proposed method is compatible with current diffractive optics and doublet metasurface technology for ultracompact multispectral imaging and lensless microscopy applications.
