Metasurfaces in Lens Design: History, Recent Progress, and Perspective
with private browsing in FireFox
Optical metasurfaces for wavefront manipulation have emerged rapidly as a powerful tool enabling new capabilities. In this talk, I will review the research on metasurface from the diffractive optical element to the latest broadband high efficiency metasurface in visible. I will discuss opportunities and challenges of employing those structures in various optical systems. Beside advanced material developments, simulations and recent results, the metasurfaces are still a curiosity that promise to be effective to reduce the size, weight, power and cost of future optical systems as it was 20 years ago with diffractive lens. I will further describe the most recent efforts to develop new tools and model to make metasurfaces more and more available for the community.
