A diffraction-limited lens having both surfaces conic is shown. The analytical and numerical calculation for all possible solutions of the conical front and back surfaces is presented. Object and image distances, lens thickness, and refractive index are prescribed. The process to obtain on-axis diffraction-limited images with bi-conic lenses and the proof of the method, corroborated through an example in Oslo, are described here.

Dielectric metasurfaces have emerged as attractive devices for advanced imaging systems because of their high efficiency, ability of wavefront manipulation, and lightweight. The classical spin-multiplexing metasurfaces can only provide two orthogonal circular polarization channels and require high phase contrast which limits their applications. Here, metasurfaces with arbitrary three independent channels are demonstrated by proposing a nonclassical spin-multiplexing approach exploring the low refractive index meta-atoms.

Benefiting from the relative high energy utilization efficiency and weak sidelobe properties, the supercritical lens holds significant advantage in a series of application scenarios. However, all of the demonstrated supercritical lenses mainly work in the on-axis illumination condition, so the off-axis aberration effect will severely deteriorate its sub-diffraction limit focusing capability for the illuminating beam with an oblique angle.

In this work, compensation of the residual spherical aberration is provided by the correction collar on the primary objective, controlled by a high precision stepper motor. A Shack-Hartmann wave front sensor is used to demonstrate the magnitude of the spherical aberration generated by the correction collar matches that predicted by an optical model of the objective lens.
