Research context

Imaging polarimetry is one of the most widely used analytical technologies for object detection and analysis. To date, most metasurface-based polarimetry techniques are severely limited by narrow operating bandwidths and inevitable crosstalk, leading to detrimental effects on imaging quality and measurement accuracy. Here, we propose a crosstalk-free broadband achromatic full Stokes imaging polarimeter consisting of polarization-sensitive dielectric metalenses, implemented by the principle of polarization-dependent phase optimization. Compared with the single-polarization optimization method, the average crosstalk has been reduced over three times under incident light with arbitrary polarization ranging from 9 μm to 12 μm, which guarantees the measurement of the polarization state more precisely. The experimental results indicate that the designed polarization-sensitive metalenses can effectively eliminate the chromatic aberration with polarization selectivity and negligible crosstalk. The measured average relative errors are 7.08%, 8.62%, 7.15%, and 7.59% at 9.3, 9.6, 10.3, and 10.6 μm, respectively. Simultaneously, the broadband full polarization imaging capability of the device

pensation, as proved in the previous reports53−55. Addi- tionally, the discernibility in polarization imaging of the proposed polarimeter can be further improved by designing the achromatic metalens with a high numeric- al aperture. The size and numerical aperture of the metalens cannot be balanced due to the limited insuffi- cient phase database. We can address this problem by in- troducing more phase compensation or a topological op- timization method. We would also like to emphasize those functional devices with broadband achromatic, wide-angle, and high numerical aperture can be realized by considering the angular response of the unit cell in conjunction with the framework of recent research in wide-angle imaging, fully accomplishing promising prac- tical applications. This work is expected to achieve much broader application prospects, such as Hartmann-Shack sensors and light field cameras through array arrange- ments. Undoubtedly, the design method of the proposed polarimeter processed the universality and veracity, which can be extended to other wavebands by selected appropriate materials. Conclusion In conclusion, we designed and fabricated a crosstalk- free broadband achromatic full Stokes imaging polari- meter in the infrared regime by integrating six broad- band achromatic dielectric metalenses with polarization- sensitive responses. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed polarimetry exhibits ex- cellent achromatic performan
