Abstract This work presents a high-efficiency achromatic meta-lens based on inverse design with topology optimization methodology. The meta-lens design with high numerical aperture values (NA = 0.7, NA = 0.8, and NA = 0.9) optimized along wavelength range starts from 550 to 800 nm, then the direct solver along the full extended wavelength band from 400 to 800 nm that applied to the final optimized structures under the three conditions of the high numerical apertures have high focusing efficiency for the all conditions. The optimization problem is based on Kreisselmeier–Steinhauser (k-s) objective function, leading to approximately stable response over the broadband bandwidths of the three designs.
