Abstract
Over the past decades, advances in metamaterial and metasurfaces inspired innovation in many imaging systems. Contrary to conventional optics where ray tracing and a Fourier transform exactly predict light propagation, those approaches are no longer valid in the case of metasurfaces and hybrid glass-metasurface coated lenses. We will discuss in this presentation our latest results and observations to develop new tools that can be incorporated within a lens design software. Analytical solution developed for this implementation will also be discussed. With these new tools, lens design can think of using metasurface within an optimized optical system
