Building Multifunctional Metasystems via Algorithmic Construction

Flat optics foresees a promising route to ultracompact optical devices, where metasurfaces serve as the foundation. Conventional designs of metasurfaces start with a certain structure as the prototype, followed by extensive parametric sweeps to accommodate the requirements of phase and amplitude of the emerging light. Regardless of how computation consuming the process is, a predefined structure can hardly realize the independent control over...
