Popis: In this paper, geometric-phase lenses, which can not only correct wavefront aberrations but also magnify an aerial image, have been proposed for use in an aerial display system composed of a retroreflector array, an orthogonal-circular polarization grating, a right-angle prism, and a quarter-wave plate. The geometric-phase lenses were demonstrated both experimentally and computationally by arranging them in the aerial display configuration and observing aerial images. We also investigated the relationship between the magnification and the field of view of an aerial image, and it has been found that there is the trade-off relationship between them.
