Abstract Benefitting from the flexibility in engineering their optical response, metamaterials have been used to achieve control over propagation of light an unprecedented level, leading highly unconventional and versatile functionalities compared with natural counterparts. Recently, emerging field metasurfaces, which consist a monolayer photonic artificial atoms, has offered attractive for shaping wave fronts by introducing abrupt interfacial phase discontinuity.

Surface topography and refractive index profile dictate the deterministic functionality of a lens. The polarity most lenses reported so far, that is, either positive (convex) or negative (concave), depends on curvatures interfaces. Here we experimentally demonstrate counter-intuitive dual-polarity flat lens based helicity-dependent phase discontinuities for circularly polarized light. Specifically, by controlling helicity input light, are interchangeable in one identical...

Metasurfaces enable a new paradigm to control electromagnetic waves by manipulating subwavelength artificial structures within just fraction of wavelength.

The robust dispersionless nature simplifies wave manipulation tremendously. Benefitting...
Abstract Conventional microwave imagers usually require either time-consuming data acquisition, or complicated reconstruction algorithms for post-processing, making them largely ineffective complex in-situ sensing and monitoring. Here, we experimentally report a real-time digital-metasurface imager that can be trained to generate the radiation patterns required by machine-learning optimized measurement modes. This is electronically reprogrammed in real time access solution an entire set,...

Metasurfaces, two‐dimensional versions of metamaterials, retain the great capabilities three‐dimensional counterparts in manipulating electromagnetic wave behaviors, while reducing challenges fabrication. By judiciously engineering parameters individual building blocks (such as geometry, size, and material) selecting specific design algorithms, metasurfaces are promising to replace conventional elements nanoplasmonic/photonic devices. Significantly, such concept can be readily promoted other...
Usually a light beam pushes particle when the photons act upon it. We investigate optical forces by nonparaxial gradientless beams and find that can drag suitable particles all way towards source. The major criterion of realizing backward dragging force is strong nonparaxiality beam, which contributes to pulling owing momentum conservation. Bessel be manipulated possess along both radial longitudinal directions, i.e., "tractor beam" with stable trajectories achieved.
Two highly coupled plasmonic metasurfaces exhibit much higher conversion efficiency and extinction ratio than individual ones.
The strong optical chirality arising from certain synthetic metamaterials has important and widespread applications in polarization optics, stereochemistry spintronics. However, these intrinsically chiral are restricted to a complicated three-dimensional (3D) geometry, which leads significant fabrication challenges, particularly at visible wavelengths. Their planar two-dimensional (2D) counterparts limited by symmetry considerations operation oblique angles (extrinsic chirality) possess...
There is an increasing need to remotely monitor people in daily life using radio-frequency probe signals. However, conventional systems can hardly be deployed real-world settings since they typically require objects either deliberately cooperate or carry a wireless active device identification tag. To accomplish complicated successive tasks single real time, we propose the simultaneous use of smart metasurface imager and recognizer, empowered by network artificial neural networks (ANNs) for...
