Geodesic conformal gradient device based on a torus
In recent years, optical fields on non-Euclidean geometry have become a hot topic. The geodesic conformal transformation theory, linking curved surfaces with planar gradient refractive indices, holds unique advantages in controlling curved optical fields. However, this theory has not yet addressed surfaces with non-trivial topology with a certain genus. In this work, we design a gradient planar device based on the geodesic conformal transformation theory for toroidal surfaces, which can achieve Gaussian beam focusing. Unlike traditional angle-preserving geodesic theories, the non-zero genus results in the one-to-two discontinuous boundaries in the device, and we utilize inversion transformations to rectify this drawback.
