Abstract
Abstract In this study, an axicon metalens comprising a large central disc surrounded by nanoposts for energy harvesting in composite metal-oxide semiconductor sensors was designed, fabricated, and experimentally characterized. The main role of the central disc is focusing light; the nanoposts of various diameters deflect light to form a Bessel-like beam. The spatial distribution of the optical transmission was measured using micro-hyperspectral imaging. The axicon metalens concentrates the light to the sensitive area of the sensor and also harvests light from adjacent pixels. After adding an axicon metalens, the normalized peak transmission is up to 250% at λ = 700 nm as compared to a blank TiO2 film. The experimental results had fair agreement with the finite-difference-time-domain simulation. The ultra-broadband energy-harvesting performance of the sensor suggests that it could be applied in surveillance and Internet of Things applications.
