Abstract

Metasurface has drawn extensive attention due to its capability of modulating light with a high degree of freedom through ultrathin and sub-wavelength optical elements, and metalens, as one of its important applications, promises to replace the bulky refractive optics, facilitating the imaging system light-weight and compact characteristics. Besides, computer-generated holography (CGH) is of substantial interest for three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology by virtue of its ability of restoring the whole optical wave field and re-constructing the true 3D scene. Consequently, the combination of metalens and CGH holds transformative potential in enabling the miniaturization of 3D imaging systems. However, its imaging performance is subject to the aberrations and speckle noises originating from the metalens and CGH. Inspired by recent progress that computational imaging can be applied to close the gap, a novel full-color imaging system, adopting end-to-end joint optimization of metalens and CGH for high imaging quality, is proposed in this paper. The U-net based network as the pre-processing adjusts weights to make the holographic reconstruction offset imaging defects, incorporating the imaging processing into the step of generating hologram. Optimized by deep learning, the proposed imaging system is capable of full-color imaging with high fidelity in a compact form factor, envisioned to take an essential step towards the high-performance miniaturized imaging system.
