System and method for parallel two-photon lithography using a metalens array
A metalens array is disclosed for controllably modifying a phase of a wavefront of an optical beam. The metalens array may have a substrate having at least first and second metalens unit cells, and forming a single integrated structure with no stitching being required of the first and second metalens unit cells. The first metalens unit cell has a first plurality of nanoscale features and is configured to modify a phase of a first portion of a wavefront of an optical signal incident thereon in accordance with a first predetermined phase pattern to create at least one first focal voxel within an image plane. The second metalens unit cell has a second plurality of nanoscale features configured to modify the phase of a second portion of the wavefront of the optical signal incident thereon, in accordance with a second predetermined phase pattern, to simultaneously create at least one second focal voxel within the image plane. Each metalens unit cell also has an overall diameter of no more than about 200 microns.
