Abstract: A spectrometer includes a substrate; a slit which is provided on the substrate and through which light is incident onto the substrate; a metasurface including nanostructures that is configured to reflect and focus the light incident thereon through the slit, at different angles based on respective wavelengths; and a sensor which is provided on one side of the substrate that is opposite to another side of the substrate at which the metasurface is disposed, and configured to receive the light from the metasurface.

Abstract: Metasurfaces comprise an array of meta-atoms in a stretchable polymer. The dimensions and shapes of the meta-atoms and the spacing are varied to obtain desired optical properties. Any optical wavefront, for different wavelengths, illumination angles, and polarization states can be designed with proper design of the meta-atoms. As the metasurface is stretched, the distance between the meta-atoms changes, modifying the optical response, while the dimensions of the meta-atoms remains constant.

Abstract: Compact optical devices such as spectrometers are realized with metasurfaces within a dielectric medium confined by reflective surfaces. The metasurfaces control the phase profiles of the reflected electromagnetic waves within the device. In a compact spectrometer, the metasurfaces within the device separate the electromagnetic waves in different wavelengths. The metasurfaces are designed according to their phase profile by varying the size of the array of scatterers.

Abstract: Cascaded metasurfaces can control the phase, amplitude and polarization of an electromagnetic beam, shaping it in three dimensional configuration not achievable with other methods. Each cascaded metasurface has dielectric or metallic scatterers arranged in a period array. The shape of the scatterers determines the three dimensional configuration of the output beam and is determined with iterative calculations through computational simulations.

Abstract: Structures for scattering light at multiple wavelengths are disclosed. Scattering elements are fabricated with different geometric dimensions and arrangements, to scatter or focus light at the same focal distance for each wavelength, or at different focal distances according to the desired application. Scattering elements can be circular or elliptical posts, allowing polarization dependent scattering. The elements can have different orientations to scatter light from multiple wavelengths at the desired focal length.

Abstract: A birefringent metasurface lens formed by an array of nanoposts generates different phase profiles for different incident electromagnetic waves of different polarization. A first polarization is focused at a first focal length, while a second polarization is focused at a second focal length. A variable phase retarder and a polarizer generate interference patterns for each phase difference between the two incident polarizations. The interference patterns are used to generate a hologram, allowing reconstruction of the image of an object.

Abstract: A polarimeter for measuring a polarization rotation caused by a measurement object is provided, the polarimeter including an optically active material. The polarimeter includes a light source unit for irradiating a measurement object with light having a specific polarization; an anisotropic meta surface element for splitting reaction light, obtained by reacting the light of the specific polarization irradiated by the light source unit with the measurement object, into first and second reaction light; and a detection unit for detecting the first and second reaction light separated by the anisotropic meta surface element according to polarization. The polarization rotation caused by the measurement object may be calculated by comparing detection signals of the first and second reaction light detected by the detection unit.

The dispersionless metasurfaces can focus optical light over a broad wavelength range. Specific dispersion profiles for the metasurfaces can be designed. Gratings can be fabricated having similar properties as the array of pillars. Pillars in the metasurfaces can have different cross-section profiles.
