Metasurface hybrid lens physical modeling

We present an approach for the physical optics modeling of metasurface-refractive hybrid lenses, emphasizing the task of monitoring polarization variations as the beam propagates through the lens. To address this, we introduce a ray/wave hybrid propagation scheme capable of tracking polarization information as a beam propagates. Through a series of case studies, we demonstrate the applicability of our propagation scheme to both polarization-dependent and polarization-independent hybrid lenses.
