Design of metasurfaces for advanced optical elements
Březina, Tomáš ; Kvapil, Michal (referee) ; Hrtoň, Martin (advisor)
Metasurfaces represent an intriguing class of materials with a wide range of promising applications, one of them being advanced planar optical elements for industrial production and imaging. The main goal of this thesis is to design such an optical element, namely a beam-shaper consisting of dielectric anostructures in HCTA (high constrast transmitarray) arrangement. The first part of this work introduces a simplified theoretical model of the optical response of building blocks that facilitates understanding of the basic functional mechanism behind the phase metasurfaces. To quantify the optical response of dielectric building blocks with enough precision, numerical FDTD simulations were employed. As a result, a database compatible with lithographic fabrication procedures was created. To find the phase distribution ensuring the desired beam-shaping function, two approaches were investigated and implemented: the semi-analytical method of geometric transformation and the iterative Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. The final output of this work is then the distribution of building blocks within the metasurface that imprints into the impinging beam the previously calculated phase profile.
