Topology-Optimized Multilayered Metaoptics

We propose a general topology-optimization framework for metasurface inverse design that can automatically discover highly complex multilayered metastructures with increased functionalities. In particular, we present topology-optimized multilayered geometries exhibiting angular phase control, including a single-piece nanophotonic metalens with angular aberration correction, as well as an angle-convergent metalens that focuses light onto the same focal spot regardless of the angle of incidence.
