Abstract
The hourglass-type nanopillars were proposed to construct a metasurface that can achieve linear beam homogenization. Compared with general cylindrical structures, the optical response of this hourglass-shaped nanopillar is more stable at small scales and has a higher tolerance for processing errors. We designed a linear beam-homogenized metasurface with a 90 degrees divergence effect using hourglass-shaped nanopillars. According to the test results, at the operating wavelength of 632 nm, the metasurface has a spot uniformity of 68.34 % and a divergent angle of 91.79 degrees. As demonstrated by the results, the hourglass-type nanoapillar metasurface has excellent performance and significant development potential for line laser homogenization with a controllable divergent angle.
