Metasurfaces offer compact flat lenses (metalenses) for miniaturized imaging systems; however, the utmost miniaturization requires not only metalenses but also a substantial reduction of free space. A Spaceplate is a flat-optics element…
Metasurfaces are nano-structured devices composed of arrays of subwavelength scatterers (or meta-atoms) that manipulate the wavefront, polarization, or intensity of light. Like other diffractive optical devices, metasurfaces suffer from…
