The scope of this book is to introduce the optical fundamentals and basic optical design methods of a metalens, where light propagation can be modelled by simple, and yet useful basic optics (e.g., the refraction law of metasurfaces, the wave front propagation, the metasurface phase profile, meta-atoms, etc.). The book provides the historical background about metasurfaces and the metalens, reviews the basics of metalens optics, the design and analysis of meta-atoms, optical design of metalens, and provides several of the main optical designs of metalens systems. This basic introduction to metalens optics may provide a practical starting point for the study of the next generation of flat lenses based in nanotechnology.
