    Abstract

    Metalenses are essential components in terahertz imaging systems. However, without careful design, they show limited field of view and their practical applications are hindered. Here, a wide-angle metalens is proposed whose structure is optimized for focusing within the incident angles of ±25°. Simulation and experiment results show that the focusing efficiency, spot size, and modulation transfer function of this lens are not sensitive to the incident angle. More importantly, this wide-angle metalens follows the ideal Gaussian formula for the object-image relation, which ensures a wider field of view and better contrast in the imaging experiment.
