Design and research of plate superlens based on GaP photonic crystal
Superlens is an imaging device based on metasurface photoregulation. Due to its advantages of miniaturization and process, it has a good application prospect in the aspects of lightweight and portability. In order to meet the demand of lens volume in the current market, a new type of superlens is simulated by using the finite-difference time-domain method. It is a flat plate superlens based on photonic crystal. The size is 2 μm×1 μm, and its working wavelength is in the visible light band of 717 nm. In this design, TiO2 waveguide was used as the substrate for the plate superlens design. Two groups of Au and GaP photonic crystals with the same period are etched on the TiO2 waveguide, and the imaging performance of the lens is simulated and studied. In addition, by introducing a series of defects with different shapes, the imaging performance of the plate lens is analyzed. The results show that when the defect structure is a rectangular size of Lx=0.5 μm, Ly=0.8 μm, the plate superlens presents the best imaging performance and reaches the value of 0.556λ super-resolution, which greatly improves the imaging quality. The flat superlens has great potential in portable imaging devices, AR, VR, and small medical devices in the future.
