    Schematic for bilayer broadband achromatic metalens. It has the same focal plane over a large continuous wavelength region. Inset: Oblique view of a unit cell of a bilayer Si nanopillars with different heights h1 = 850 nm, h2 = 1500 nm, in-plane cross-sectional dimensions Dx = 420 nm, Dy = 190 nm and lattice constant P = 500 nm, on a SiO2 substrate. Right: The top view of each layer.

Each nanopillar with 500 nm periods, in-plane cross-sectional dimensions Dx = 420 nm, Dy = 190 nm. (b, c) Transmission coefficient and phase map of the bottom cylindrical nanopillar with different diameters d as a function of wavelength from 1000 nm to 1700 nm.
