Multifunctional dielectric metasurface for coding/decoding and sensing of light

Abstract

This proposal describes a collaborative effort between the Brongersma group at Stanford and the Hasman group at the Technion. They propose to develop planar optical components into multifunctional dielectric shared-aperture metasurfaces to achieve multi-mode and multi-tasking spin-controlled optical components operating in the visible and infrared spectral ranges. The research will be conducted for optical mode shaping as well as for mode detection and characterization of the fundamental properties of light, including the phase, amplitude, wavelength, angular momenta and polarization state. He will investigate five implementations of shared-aperture multitasking metasurfaces, including (a) Multitasking Si-metasurfaces based on interleaving and harmonic response, (b) Multispectral Si-based metasurface, (c) Si-based spectropolarimeter metasurface enabling real-time measurement of the polarization state and spectra of an incident polychromatic beam. (d) On-chip sensing of wavelength,polarization and orbital angular momentum of light, and an (e) integrated photodetectionspectropolarimeter based on Si-metasurfaces.
