Airy beams represent an important type of non-diffracting beams—they are the only non-diffracting wave in one dimension, and thus they can be produced with a cylindrical geometry that modifies a wavefront in one dimension. In this paper, we show the design of a cylindrical plasmonic metalens consisting of an array of nanoslits in a gold thin layer that modulates the phase of a Gaussian beam to generate an airy beam propagating in free space. Based on the numerical results, we show that it is possible to generate an airy beam by only matching the phase of wavefronts coming out from the array of gold nanoslits to the airy beam phase at plane z=0. We numerically demonstrate that the airy beam exhibits bending over propagation and self-healing properties. The transmission efficiency is around 60%. The simplicity of the proposed structure open new perspectives in the design of flat metasurfaces for light-focusing applications. |
