Abstract

Conventional three-dimensional optics requires curvature to control the wave front of light thus making it difficult to reduce the size of the optical systems. Furthermore, for correction of optical aberrations, complex optical systems comprising more than one lens are used. This adds additional bulk, mass and complexity to the optical systems. Recent development in diffractive optics has enabled new thin lightweight optical elements such as metalenses. We introduce resonant laser printing technique as a flexible photo-thermal technology for metalens fabrication with the ability to control the light with microscale precision. Our laser printed metalenses can be integrated in bio-sensors, bio-imaging systems, and optofluidical devices.
