Abstract

Dispersion management plays a critical role in advancing spectrometers, which are indispensable tools for comprehending various optical phenomena, such as Raman scattering and fluorescence. Spectrometers investigate spectral changes under light-matter interaction, targeting many real-life applications extending from food safety and disease diagnostics to environmental monitoring. Unlike their bulkier predecessors, compact spectrometers have significant potential for enhanced versatility and wearable optics. This study proposes a zinc sulfide-based, all-dielectric super dispersive, Circular Polarization (CP) discriminator metalens. The dispersion-controlled metalens is an integral component of compact spectrometers, with focal spots residing on the same plane and undergoing minimal broadening across the visible spectrum (i.e., 475 − 650 nm). Moreover, the proposed device fulfills an additional role as a CP filter, permitting one state to focus on the intended position while simultaneously defocusing the other. In practice, incorporating a novel spin-decoupling approach with wavelength and phase multiplexing equips the proposed device to provide optimal spectral resolving performance with helicity-resolved capabilities, making it a multifunctional state-of-the-art meta-spectrometer. We are confident that the proposed device effectively merges various advanced features, positioning it as a promising addition to spectrometry.
