The existing metasurfaces with ultrathin volume for asymmetric transmission were often constructed by metal with low efficiency in optical frequency, and could not realize the optical asymmetric transmission and focusing simultaneously. Although the acoustic asymmetric focusing in asymmetric focusing lens (AFL) was realized, the obtained focal point was accompanied by large sidelobe. To solve those problems, an AFL with dual-layer metasurfaces designed by using dielectric materials can realize optical asymmetric transmission and focusing simultaneously in this paper. Furtherly, through optimizing the design theory of AFL, the near-zero-sidelobe (NZS) focusing can be realized on the subwavelength scale. The NZS asymmetric focusing of the optimized AFL is effective in broadband, which is expected to possess tremendous potential in the optical micro-nano processing, quantum communication, optical micromanipulation, etc.

Metasurfaces with tunable spatial phase functions could benefit numerous applications. Currently, most approaches to tuning rely on mechanical stretching which cannot control phase locally, or by modulating the refractive index to exploit rapid phase
changes with the drawback of also modulating amplitude. Here, we propose a method to realize phase modulation at subwavelength length scales while maintaining unity amplitude. Our device is inspired by an asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonator, with pixels comprising a scattering nanopost on top of a distributed Bragg reflector, capable of providing a nearly 2{pi} nonlinear phase shift with less than 2% refractive index modulation. Using the designed pixels, we simulate a tunable metasurface composed of an array of moderately coupled nanopost resonators, realizing axicons, vortex beam generators, and aspherical lenses with both variable focal length and in-plane scanning capability, achieving nearly diffraction-limited performance. The experimental feasibility of the proposed method is also discussed.
Micro-sized spheres can focus light into subwavelength spatial domains: a phenomena called photonic nanojet. Even though well studied in three-dimensional (3D) configurations, only a few attempts have been reported to observe similar phenomena in two
-dimensional (2D) systems. This, however, is important to take advantage of photonic nanojets in integrated optical systems. Usually, surface plasmon polaritons are suggested for this purpose, but they suffer notoriously from the rather low propagation lengths due to intrinsic absorption. Here, we solve this problem and explore, theoretically, numerically, and experimentally, the use of Bloch surface waves sustained by a suitably structured all-dielectric media to enable subwavelength focusing in an integrated planar optical system. Since only a low index contrast can be achieved while relying on Bloch surface waves, we perceive a new functional element that allows a tight focusing and the observation of a photonic nanojet on top of the surface. We experimentally demonstrate a spot size of 0.66{lambda} in the effective medium. Our approach paves the way to 2D all-dielectric photonic chips for nano-particle manipulation in fluidic devices and sensing applications.
Many advances in reflective metasurfaces have been made during the last few years, implementing efficient manipulations of wavefronts, especially for plane waves. Despite numerous solutions that have been developed throughout the years, a practical m
ethod to obtain subwavelength focusing without the generation of additional undesired scattering is a challenge to this day. In this paper, we introduce and discuss lossless reflectors for focusing incident waves into a point. The solution is based on the so-called power flow-conformal surfaces that allow theoretically arbitrary shaping of reflected waves. The metamirror shape is adapted to the power flow of the sum of the incident and reflected waves, allowing a local description of the reflector surface based on the surface impedance. In particular, we present a study of two scenarios. First, we study the scenario when the field is emitted by a point source and focused at an image point (in the considered example, with the {lambda}/20 resolution). Second, we analyze a metasurface capable to focus the power of an illuminating plane wave. This work provides a feasible strategy for various applications, including detecting biological signals near the skin, sensitive power focusing for cancer therapy, and point-to-point power transfer.
Subwavelength dielectric resonators assembled into metasurfaces have become versatile tools to miniaturise optical components towards the nanoscale. An important class of such functionalities is associated with asymmetries in both generation and prop
agation of light with respect to reversals of the positions of transmitters and receivers. A promising pathway towards miniaturisation of asymmetric light control is via nonlinear light-matter interactions. Here we demonstrate asymmetric parametric generation of light at the level of individual subwavelength resonators. We assemble thousands of dissimilar nonlinear dielectric resonators into translucent metasurfaces that produce images in the visible spectral range when illuminated by infrared radiation. By design, these nonlinear metasurfaces produce different and completely independent images for the reversed directions of illumination, that is when the positions of the infrared transmitter and the visible light receiver are exchanged. Nonlinearity-enabled asymmetric control of light at the level of individual subwavelength resonators opens an untapped potential for developing novel nanophotonic components via dense integration of large quantities of nonlinear resonators into compact metasurfaces.
In this letter, we introduce stacked fishnet metamaterial for steering light in microwave region. We numerically demonstrate that optical Bloch oscillations and a focus of as small as one sixth of a wavelength can be achieved. The flexibility of vary
ing geometrical parameters of the fishnet slabs provides an efficient way for tuning its local effective media parameters and opens the possibility for controlling light arbitrarily. The experiment verifies subwavelength-sized light focusing effect by scanning magnetic field at the surface of the sample directly.
