Abstract

The invention discloses a double-layer dielectric metasurface-based optical zooming system. The system comprises a first layer of dielectric metasurface and a second layer of dielectric metasurface, wherein both the two layers of dielectric metasurface are formed by a plurality of basic units through splicing; each basic unit comprises a base plate and a cylindrical dielectric column arranged on the base plate; a mapping relationship exists among the diameters of the cylindrical dielectric columns of each layer of dielectric metasurface, the distances from the cylindrical dielectric columns tothe centers of the dielectric metasurface and the angles between the cylindrical dielectric columns and the dielectric metasurface; incident light is incident to pass through the two layers of dielectric metasurface in sequence; the two layers of dielectric metasurface carry out phase modulation on the incident light in sequence for two times, so as to realize a focusing effect for the incident light; and when the relative rotation angles of the first layer of dielectric metasurface and the second layer of dielectric metasurface change relative to an initial state, focusing focal lengths corresponding to the two layers of dielectric metasurface are changed, and the focusing effect of the two layers of dielectric metasurface for the incident light is changed. The zooming system provided bythe invention is capable of realizing zooming according to the sizes of the rotation angles and realizing large-scale zooming.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical devices, and more specifically, to an optical zoom system based on a double-layer medium supersurface. Background technique [0002] The optical zoom system is widely used in the field of optical imaging. At present, in the field of optics, it mainly relies on the use of lens groups to produce a focusing effect, and zooming is achieved by changing the distance between the lenses in the lens group. The current main zoom system is a linear lens group zoom system, that is, focusing and zooming are performed on a straight line in the direction of incident light. Such as SLR camera lens. This type of zoom system usually needs to take up a large space, and at the same time, the demand for working space is also very large, which is not conducive to integration. The newer periscope zoom system first changes the direction of the incident light, so that a complex lens group can be placed in another di...
