We use inverse design to discover metalens structures that exhibit broadband, achromatic focusing across low, moderate, and high numerical apertures. We show that standard unit-cell approaches cannot achieve high-efficiency high-NA focusing, even at a single frequency, due to the incompleteness of the unit-cell basis, and we provide computational upper bounds on their maximum efficiencies. At low NA, our devices exhibit the highest theoretical efficiencies to date. At high NA -- of 0.9 with translation-invariant films and of 0.99 with "freeform" structures -- our designs are the first to exhibit achromatic high-NA focusing.

    A regularized inverse-designed silicon metamaterial splits 1520 nm and 1580 nm light from a 10-um-wide waveguide into two narrow outputs in a 2.4 x 10 um2 footprint, with measured crosstalk down to -25 dB.
