Multilayer metasurfaces (MLMs) represent a versatile type of three-dimensional optical metamaterials that could enable ultra-thin and multi-functional photonic components. Herein we demonstrate an approach to readily fabricate MLMs exploiting a thin film self-rolling technique. As opposed to standard layer-by-layer approaches, all the metasurfaces are defined within a single nanopatterning step, significantly reducing fabrication time and costs. We realize two MLMs platforms relying on widely used nanopatterning techniques, namely focused ion-beam and electron-beam lithographies. A first example are MLMs comprised of nanohole patterns structured into metal-dielectric seed bilayers. The second platform is comprised of vertical stacks of angled plasmonic nanorod arrays separated by thin dielectric layers. Such angled MLMs exhibit a selective response to circularly polarized light, in agreement with previous works relying on layer-by-layer processes. Our approach can pave the way for the efficient prototyping of novel MLMs, such as devices with varying number of layers and configurations that can be fabricated on a single chip.

To enhance transmission efficiency of Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase metasurfaces, multilayer split-ring resonators were proposed to develop encoding sequences. As per the generalized Snell law, the deflection angle of the PB phase encoding metasurfac
es depends on the metasurface period size. Therefore, it is impossible to design an infinitesimal metasurface unit.Consequently, the continuous transmission scattering angle cannot be obtained. In digital signal processing, this study introduces the Fourier convolution principle on encoding metasurface sequences to freely control the transmitted scattering angles. Both addition and subtraction operations between two different encoding sequences were then performed to achieve the continuous variation of the scattering angle. Furthermore, we established that the Fourier convolution principle can be applied to the checkerboard coded metasurfaces.
Actively tunable and reconfigurable wavefront shaping by optical metasurfaces poses a significant technical challenge often requiring unconventional materials engineering and nanofabrication. Most wavefront-shaping metasurfaces can be considered loca
l in that their operation depends on the responses of individual meta-units. In contrast, nonlocal metasurfaces function based on the modes supported by many adjacent meta-units, resulting in sharp spectral features but typically no spatial control of the outgoing wavefront. Recently, nonlocal metasurfaces based on quasi-bound states in the continuum have been shown to produce designer wavefronts only across the narrow bandwidth of the supported Fano resonance. Here, we leverage the enhanced light-matter interactions associated with sharp Fano resonances to explore the active modulation of optical spectra and wavefronts by refractive index tuning and mechanical stretching. We experimentally demonstrate proof-of-principle thermo-optically tuned nonlocal metasurfaces made of silicon, and numerically demonstrate nonlocal metasurfaces that thermo-optically switch between distinct wavefront shapes. This meta-optics platform for thermally reconfigurable wavefront-shaping requires neither unusual materials and fabrication nor active control of individual meta-units.
Efficient hybrid plasmonic-photonic metasurfaces that simultaneously take advantage of the potential of both pure metallic and all-dielectric nanoantennas are identified as an emerging technology in flat optics. Nevertheless, post-fabrication tunable
hybrid metasurfaces are still elusive. Here, we present a reconfigurable hybrid metasurface platform by incorporating the phase-change material Ge$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ (GST) into metal-dielectric meta-atoms for active and non-volatile tuning of properties of light. We systematically design a reduced-dimension meta-atom, which selectively controls the fundamental hybrid plasmonic-photonic resonances of the metasurface via the dynamic change of optical constants of GST without compromising the scattering efficiency. As a proof-of-concept, we experimentally demonstrate miniaturized tunable metasurfaces that control the amplitude and phase of incident light necessary for high-contrast optical switching and anomalous to specular beam deflection, respectively. Finally, we leverage a deep learning-based approach to present an intuitive low-dimensional visualization of the enhanced range of response reconfiguration enabled by the addition of GST. Our findings further substantiate dynamically tunable hybrid metasurfaces as promising candidates for the development of small-footprint energy harvesting, imaging, and optical signal processing devices.
Lithography-free metasurfaces composed of a nano-layered stack of materials are attractive not only due to their optical properties but also by virtue of fabrication simplicity and cost reduction of devices based on such structures. We demonstrate a
multi-layer metasurface with engineered electromagnetic absorption in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength range. Characterisation of thin SiO$_2$ and Si films sandwiched between two Au layers by way of experimental absorption and thermal radiation measurements as well as finite difference time domain (FDTD) numerical simulations is presented. Comparison of experimental and simulation data of optical properties of multilayer metasurfaces show guidelines for the absorber/emitter applications.
Nanophotonic chiral antennas exhibit orders of magnitude higher circular dichroism (CD) compared to molecular systems. Merging magnetism and structural chirality at the nanometric level allows for the efficient magnetic control of the dichroic respon
se, bringing exciting new prospects to active nanophotonic devices and magnetochirality. Here we devise macroscale enantiomeric magnetophotonic metasurfaces of plasmon and ferromagnetic spiral antennas. Mixed 2D- and 3D- chiral nanoantennas induce large CD response, where we identify reciprocal and non-reciprocal contributions. The simultaneous chiroptical and magneto-optical response in a wide spectral range with these metasurfaces delivers an attractive platform for the study of magnetochirality at the nanoscale. Exploring further this type of magnetophotonic metasurfaces allows the realization of high-sensitivity chiral sensors and prompts the design of novel macroscopic optical devices operating with polarized light.
