Nanoapertures with ordered rotations: symmetry transformation and wide-angle flat lensing.

We report the experimental demonstration of a two-dimensional (2D) metasurface with ordered rotation of elements and show that it can be used to control the symmetry of light-matter interaction. A 2D lens is demonstrated in the visible region by transforming the rotational symmetry associated with the off-axis incident light to the translational symmetry, allowing an extraordinarily large field of view (FOV) as well as optical Fourier transformation. Furthermore, such a planar lens has a long focal depth, with polarization selectivity and subwavelength resolution. The scheme presented here may provide many new perspectives on the design of novel 2D optical devices.
