Abstract

We present the first demonstration of unidirectional imaging that permits image formation along only one direction, from an input field-of-view to an output field-of-view, while eliminating optical transmission in the reverse direction. This unidirectional imager is formed by diffractive layers composed of isotropic linear materials spatially-coded with thousands of phase features optimized using deep learning. We experimentally tested our diffractive design using a terahertz setup and 3D-printed diffractive layers, which revealed a good agreement with our numerical simulations. The designs of these diffractive unidirectional imagers are compact and can be scaled to operate at different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
