Minireview on Disordered Optical Metasurfaces

Abstract

The use of coherent wave phenomena to enhance device performance is a cornerstone of modern optics. In juxtaposition to (locally) periodic metasurfaces, their disordered counterparts exhibit an interplay of destructive and constructive interferences occurring at the same spatial and spectral frequencies. This attribute provides disordered metasurfaces with a remarkable degree of flexibility, setting them apart from the constraints of periodic arrangements. Hereafter, we provide a concise overview of the cutting-edge developments and offer insights into the forthcoming research in this dynamic field.
