Abstract
An active metasurface that provides low-loss and high-bandwidth modulation control of light includes a number of cells arranged on a substrate. A controller dynamically alters a voltage differential supplied to the electrodes of each of the cells is adapted to alter refractive index of each of the high-index dielectric blocks in order to controllably steer light exiting the cell.
