Abstract
An apparatus includes an optical element that has an optical metasurface including meta-atoms. In some instances, at least some of the meta-atoms have a first height and others of the meta-atoms have a second height that differs from the first height. In some instances, each meta-atom has a cross-section composed of a first metamaterial surrounded laterally by a second different metamaterial. Techniques for manufacturing such optical elements also are disclosed.
