Metalens

Abstract

A metalens capable of concentrating terahertz waves having a high light concentration efficiency. The metalens includes a first region that has a plurality of microstructures disposed therein to concentrate terahertz waves; and a second region that is a region that surrounds the first region and that is a region different from the first region, in which in a case where terahertz waves having a wavelength of 0.3 mm, a wavelength of 1 mm, and a wavelength of 3 mm are incident, assuming that a wavelength having a highest light concentration efficiency is a wavelength X, a transmittance of the terahertz waves having the wavelength X in the first region is a transmittance T1, and a transmittance of the terahertz waves having the wavelength X in the second region is a transmittance T2, the transmittance T2 is lower than the transmittance T1.
