Antireflection by design in bilayer metasurfaces

Jaewon Oh, Davide Cassara, Alfonso Palmieri +5

Antireflection coatings are ubiquitous in optical systems, where they maximize transmission and suppress undesirable reflections by impedance-matching uniform interfaces. Extending…

Self-healing of the Montgomery pattern

Athena Xu, Oscar de Vries, Alfonso Palmieri +3

Self-healing -- the ability of a structured beam to reconstruct its transverse profile after partial obstruction -- has been demonstrated for diffraction-free beams, where the reco…

Silica meta-optics: When high-performance does not need a high-index

Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri, Vitthal Mishra +3

Metasurfaces -- planar arrays of subwavelength nanostructures -- are typically realized with high-index dielectrics, while low-index platforms are often dismissed for their weaker…

Observation of spatially structured Montgomery effect in free space

Murat Yessenov, Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri +3

We report the first direct observation of the spatially structured Montgomery effect, a lensless self-imaging phenomenon that generalizes the Talbot effect to aperiodic structures,…

Free-standing bilayer metasurfaces in the visible

Ahmed H. Dorrah, Joon-Suh Park, Alfonso Palmieri +1

Mult-layered meta-optics have enabled complex wavefront shaping beyond their single layer counterpart owing to the additional design variables afforded by each plane. For instance,…

Shape optimization for high efficiency metasurfaces: theory and implementation

P. Dainese, L. Marra, D. Cassara +7

Complex non-local behavior makes designing high efficiency and multifunctional metasurfaces a significant challenge. While using libraries of meta-atoms provide a simple and fast i…
