Strain-Multiplex Metalens Array for Tunable Focusing and Imaging.


ABSTRACT: Metalenses on a flexible template are engineered metal-dielectric interfaces that improve conventional imaging system and offer dynamic focusing and zooming capabilities by controlling the focal length and bandwidth through a mechanical or external stretch. However, realizing large-scale and cost-effective flexible metalenses with high yields in a strain-multiplex fashion remains as a great challenge. Here, single-pulsed, maskless light interference and imprinting technique is utilized to fabricate reconfigurable, flexible metalenses on a large-scale and demonstrate its strain-multiplex tunable focusing. Experiments, in accordance with the theory, show that applied stretch on the flexible-template reconfigurable diffractive metalenses (FDMLs) accurately mapped focused wavefront, bandwidth, and focal length. The surface relief metastructures consisted of metal-coated hemispherical cavities in a hexagonal close-packed arrangement to enhance tunable focal length, numerical aperture, and fill factor, FF ? 100% through normal and angular light illumination with external stretch. The strain-multiplex of FDMLs approach lays the foundation of a new class of large-scale, cost-effective metalens offering tunable light focusing and imaging.
