Abstract
We develop a design method of flat optics for illumination. We describe a metalens design method for uniform illumination based on the ray mapping algorithm between a point source and a target. Based on metasurface refraction equation and a suitable ray mapping, a first order differential equation that represents the characteristics of the desired illumination distribution is presented. The metalens phase profile for uniform illumination is obtained by solving this simple equation. The results show that we can get a metalens for uniform illumination with a point source, for example a small light-emitting diode (LED).
