Abstract

To meet the growing demand for design automation of metalens with inverse design capability, Synopsys has developed a powerful and user-friendly multi-domain design tool, MetaOptic Designer (MOD), that can handle lenses with subwavelength features. The optimization algorithm employs the well-known adjoint method, which can easily handle millions of design variables. The forward propagation is done by the efficient Fourier transform, also called angular spectrum method. The transfer function of each metalens is characterized by a parametric BSDF databases built with RCWA or FDTD. Application examples include achromatic metalens, large FOV metalens, reflective metalens, chiral hologram, and hybrid optical system.
