Disordered metasurfaces offer unique properties unattainable with periodic or ordered metasurfaces, notably the absence of deterministic interference effects at specific wavelengths and angles. In this work, we introduce a lithography-free…

The angular response of thin diffractive optical elements is highly correlated. For example, the angles of incidence and diffraction of a grating are locked through the grating momentum determined by the grating period. Other diffractive…
