Fourier-transform interferometer using meta surface

Abstract

A Fourier-transform interferometer includes a phase change plate including a reflective layer configured to reflect a first light that is incident, and a meta surface configured to locally and differently change a phase of the first light that is reflected. The Fourier-transform interferometer further includes a photodetector configured to detect a second light, and a transflective mirror and a mirror configured to transmit a first part of a third light that is incident, to the phase change plate, transmit a remaining part of the third light, to the photodetector, and transmit the first light of which the phase is locally and differently changed, to the photodetector. The photodetector is further configured to detect an interference pattern between the remaining part of the third light and the first light of which the phase is locally and differently changed.
