Reconfigurable metasurfaces provide nanoscale light control: Technique inspired by the art of paper cutting used to make metasurfaces that could benefit optical displays and information encoding
Researchers have designed electromechanically reconfigurable ultrathin optical elements that can be controlled and programmed on a pixel-by-pixel level. These versatile metasurfaces could offer a new chip-based way to achieve nanoscale control of light, which could lead to better optical displays, information encoding and digital light processing. “Metasurfaces are ultrathin and compact optical elements that can […]
