    (a) Sketch of basic MRSRR unit on top of the silica glass substrate, L=150 nm, cell const Λ=250 nm, and gold thickness t=100 nm; L1+L2=175 nm. (b) Phase shifts and scattering amplitudes of the cross-polarized transmittance with a LCP incidence at the wavelength of 808 nm. Images of the selected nine MRSRR antennas correspond to different phase delays. (c) Phase shifts at different x positions of the metalens, and the corresponding MRSRR antennas are also placed at the bottom of the image.

    Full-wave simulations are performed for the propagation of a normally incident CP wave at 808 nm through the MRSRR metalens. (a) The electric field, field intensity, and phase distribution indicate that the metalens is a positive lens for LCP incident light, and (b) shows that the metalens is a negative lens for RCP incident light.
