Light‐sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), sectioning biological samples by illuminating a thin slice of fluorescently labelled live cells or tissues typically with a Bessel beam, requires dithering the beam to form a two‐dimensional (2D) light sheet. It usually suffers from severe phototoxicity and low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) mainly caused by the side‐lobe illumination generating unfavorable bio‐fluorescence from the adjacent tissues. Here, the first proof‐of‐concept experimental implementation of genetic algorithm (GA) generated metalens is provided to address the above challenges. It is shown that a dithering‐free 2D light sheet produced by a GaN‐based metalens with GA‐generated prism‐like yet non‐analytical phase profile, can significantly suppress the side‐lobe intensity of the resultant light sheet down to 7.3% of the main lobe intensity and also extends its depth of focus up to 4 mm, surpassing the latest results reported in the literature. When applied under two‐photon excitation, the light sheet exhibits an enhanced axial resolution and SNR. These results demonstrate the feasibility of applying artificial intelligence generated metalens in addressing some special issues encountered by conventional analytical design approaches, and the metalens device produced here could find an important role in fast‐LSFM‐based large‐scale bioimaging applications without mechanical dithering. Experimental implementation demonstrates that a genetic algorithm (GA) generated one‐dimensional (1D) non‐analytical phase profile can be assianged to a gallium nitride (GaN)‐based metalens, to produce a 4 mm long two‐dimensional (2D) non‐diffractive optical pattern with significant side‐lobe suppression, which can promisingly address some of the typical issues encountered by conventional Gaussian beam or Bessel beam based light sheet fluorescence microscopy.
