Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the effect of phase discretization on the monochromatic aberrations of a planar focusing metasurface. A series of focusing metasurfaces with constant aperture and different numerical aperture (NA) are synthesized by availably discrete phase distributions instead of the ideally continuous phase maps. Under normal and oblique illumination of a Gaussian plane-wave, their diffraction field patterns are computed by the generalized Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral. The focusing parameters describing the beam shape and the Strehl ratio quantifying the aberrations are then extracted from numerical results and comparatively analyzed. It is demonstrated that the flat metasurface with increasing phase levels can obtain better focus yet miserably more Strehl ratio decrement for increasing incident angles and NA implying worse Comatic aberrations.
