Wide field of view and polarization imaging capabilities are crucial for implementation of advanced imaging devices. However, there are still great challenges in the integration of such optical systems. Here, we report a bionic compound eye metasurface that can realize full Stokes polarization imaging in a wide field of view. The bionic compound eye metasurface consists of a bifocal metalens array in which every three bifocal metalenses form a subeye. The phase of the bifocal metalens is composed of gradient phase and hyperbolic phase. Numerical simulations show that the bifocal metalens can not only improve the focusing efficiency in the oblique light but also correct the aberration caused by the oblique incident light. And the field of view of the bionic compound eye metasurface can reach 120° × 120°. We fabricated a bionic compound eye metasurface which consists of three subeyes. Experiments show that the bionic compound eye metasurface can perform near diffraction-limited polarization focusing and imaging in a large field of view. The design method is generic and can be used to design metasurfaces with different materials and wavelengths. It has great potential in the field of robot polarization vision and polarization detection.
