Dynamic wavefront shaping with high-quality-factor resonant metasurfaces
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Wavefront shaping and control is essential for advancing optical technologies spanning communication, computation, and sensing. Metasurfaces promise to miniaturize future optical components, by shaping light with subwavelength nanostructures that precisely control the wave's amplitude, polarization, and phase. However, most current metasurface designs are static, unable to flexibly tune their responses to environmental or operational cues once fabricated. This thesis presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of dynamic metasurfaces that efficiently modulate their behavior based on the integration of high quality factor (high-Q) resonances. Through demonstrating a variety of devices, including lenses and beam steerers, both theoretically and experimentally this work will clearly lay out high-Q wavefront shaping metasurfaces as a promising route to achieving active devices utilizing many possible modulation mechanisms to realize a variety of transfer functions and novel design schemes.
