Lenses based on Pancharatnam phase have recently attracted an increasing interest. Their main advantages include being very thin and inexpensive. But their application is generally limited to when a monochromatic illumination is used because they are strongly wavelength dependent. However low power Pancharatnam phase lenses have the potential to be considered for applications over the visible range. In this paper we provide intuitive “limits” for the power of these lenses under which these types of devices can be considered for use with applications with visible light that include human eye specifically for VR/AR applications.
