Abstract
Metalenses offer the ground-breaking opportunity to realize highly performing low-weight, flat and ultrathin, optical elements which substantially reduce size and complexity of imaging systems. Today, a major challenge in metalenses design is still the realization of achromatic optical elements ideally focussing a broad wavelength spectrum at a single focal length. Here we present a fast and effective way to design and fabricate extremely thin all-dielectric metalenses, optimally solving achromaticity issues by means of machine learning codes. The enabling technology for fabrication is a recently developed hyper resolute two-photon direct laser writing lithography equipment. The fabricated metalenses, based on a completely flat and ultrathin design, show intriguing optical features. Overall, achromatic behavior, focal length of 1.14 mm, depth of focus of hundreds of microns and thickness of only few nanometers allow considering the design of novel and efficient imaging systems in a completely new perspective.
