We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

This will depend on the working distances: you can definitely add such object in front to (attach to) the metalens, and use a monitor behind the metalens, and do the farfield projection to the focal plane, provided that you use plane wave source (with an iris/stop).

If there is an amplification, eg, the slab is located at some distance away from the metalens, it needs a lot of memory in order to directly image it. What you might do is:

simulate the slab with given illumination, and project the transmitted field on to the metalens front sourface (with small distance); then do the above simulation and post process the result.
