Phase compensation large-field angle superlens and design method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optics, in particular to a phase compensation large-field-angle superlens and a design method thereof, which are suitable for a focal plane array imaging system.
Background
The infrared focal plane array detector has the advantages of high resolution, strong electromagnetic interference resistance and all-weather operation, and can be applied to remote sensing and remote measuring, automatic driving, virtual reality and other scenes. As focal plane arrays are developed toward high efficiency, high integration, high speed, intelligence, miniaturization, etc., the photosensitive pixel area of the focal plane arrays is becoming smaller. In order to ensure the collection efficiency of the focal plane array on the incident light, a micro lens array needs to be integrated on the focal plane array, so that the incident light can be effectively focused in the photosensitive pixel area. However, the conventional microlens array mainly uses a refractive semicircular lens, and has a problem of small collection angle for incident light. When the angle of incident light is larger, the focal point of the micro lens deviates from the photosensitive pixel area, and the detection efficiency of the focal plane array is severely limited.
In recent years, with development of the super-surface technology, the super-lens has higher design freedom, can be designed into the super-lens with large field angle and high focusing efficiency according to specific incident light fields, and has the characteristics of small size and easy integration; superlenses based on two-dimensional sub-wavelength structures have been widely studied, such as broadband achromatic superlenses, large field angle superlenses, and the like. The existing large-field angle superlens adopts a diaphragm to limit the angle area of incident light, but the utilization rate of the incident light is still low, the focusing efficiency and resolution are not high, and the detection efficiency is low.
Disclosure of Invention

According to the generalized Snell's lawWherein the angle of refraction theta r With incident angle theta i Can be by->After determining and substituting into a solution differential equation, the phase compensation superlens phase distribution formula of each nano medium column can be obtained:
the super lens surface is taken as an xOy plane, the central point of the super lens surface is taken as the origin of coordinates, x and y are taken as the coordinate positions,for the transmission phase to be satisfied by the nano-column at different positions, lambda is the wavelength of incident light, the first term of the formula is the phase distribution of the equivalent convex superlens, f is the focal length of the equivalent convex superlens, the second term of the formula is the phase distribution of the equivalent concave superlens, f 1 Is the negative focal length of the equivalent concave superlens, and r is the distance from the center of the nano medium column to the origin of coordinates +.>
When the angle of incidence light cone is theta and the side length of single super lens is D, the focal length f of equivalent concave super lens 1 Has the following componentsThe incident light cone angle theta is calculated from the clear aperture and focal length of the imaging lens. The equivalent concave superlens can compensate the extra phase change brought by the incident light field, thereby obtaining equivalent parallel light incidence. The focal length of the equivalent convex superlens is equal to the distance (actual working distance) from the superlens to the photosensitive element, so as to focus equivalent parallel light onto the photosensitive element area.
Further, the material of the nano dielectric column is silicon nitride, titanium dioxide, amorphous silicon, silicon or gallium nitride.
Further, the transparent substrate is a visible light, near infrared or middle-far infrared transparent substrate, and the transmittance in the infrared band is more than 95% of a material, such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium fluoride, barium fluoride, calcium fluoride, zinc sulfide or zinc selenide.
Furthermore, an antireflection film is arranged on one side of the transparent substrate without the micro-nano structure so as to reduce reflection, and the coating material is magnesium fluoride or calcium fluoride material.
Furthermore, the phase-compensated superlens with a large field angle is arranged into an array, and is used as a superlens array of a focal plane array imaging system, so that incident light is better focused in a photosensitive pixel area, and the detection efficiency of the focal plane array is improved.
