Here, we review some of these recent developments, with a focus on dielectric structures for shaping optical wavefronts. We discuss the mechanisms for achieving steep phase gradients with high efficiency, simultaneous polarization and phase control, controlling the chromatic dispersion, and controlling the angular response. Then, we review applications in imaging, conformal optics, tunable devices, and optical systems. We conclude with an outlook on future potentials and challenges that need to be overcome.","abstract_license":"CC-BY-SA (verbatim) (publisher license, via OpenAlex)","license":"cc-by-sa","is_open_access":true,"retracted":false,"peer_reviewed":null,"categories":["Metamaterials and Metasurfaces Applications"],"details":null,"provenance":"openalex","attribution":"Abstract of \"A review of dielectric optical metasurfaces for wavefront control\" by Kamali Seyedeh Mahsa, Ehsan Arbabi, Amir Arbabi et al., https://doi.org/10.1515/nanoph-2017-0129, used under its Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY-SA); markup removed, otherwise unmodified.","topics":[{"slug":"metamaterials-photonics","name":"Metamaterials, Nanophotonics & Integrated Photonics","domain_slug":"materials"}],"cited_in_dossiers":[]}
