“…Metasurfaces have a real potential for the realization of each of these states. Rapid progress in the development of metaphotonics allowed bulky optical assemblies to be replaced with metasurfaces, opening a broad range of novel and superior applications of flat optics to the generation, manipulation and detection of classical light [ 226 , 227 , 228 , 229 , 230 ].…”

Throughout human history, the control of light, electricity and heat has evolved to become the cornerstone of various innovations and developments in electrical and electromagnetic technologies. Wireless communications, laser and computer technologies have all been achieved by altering the way light and other energy forms act naturally and how to manage them in a controlled manner. At the nanoscale, to control light and heat, matured nanostructure fabrication techniques have been developed in the last two decades, and a wide range of groundbreaking processes have been achieved. Photonic crystals, nanolithography, plasmonics phenomena and nanoparticle manipulation are the main areas where these techniques have been applied successfully and led to an emergent material sciences branch known as metamaterials. Metamaterials and functional material development strategies are focused on the structures of the matter itself, which has led to unconventional and unique electromagnetic properties through the manipulation of light—and in a more general picture the electromagnetic waves—in widespread manner. Metamaterial’s nanostructures have precise shape, geometry, size, direction and arrangement. Such configurations are impacting the electromagnetic light waves to generate novel properties that are difficult or even impossible to obtain with natural materials. This review discusses these metamaterials and metasurfaces from the perspectives of materials, mechanisms and advanced metadevices in depth, with the aim to serve as a solid reference for future works in this exciting and rapidly emerging topic.

“…Besides, according to the primary category of materials constituting metasurface, metasurfaces can be divided into metallic and dielectric metasurfaces. The dielectric metasurface has advantages of low Ohmic loss, low cost, ultrahigh transmission efficiency, etc., compared with metallic metasurface [8]. But the existing research on VO 2 reconfigurable metasurface has been focused on the metallic metasurface.…”

Terahertz reconfigurable dielectric metasurface hybridized with vanadium dioxide for two-dimensional multichannel multiplexing

The metasurface hybridized with vanadium dioxide (VO2) can be dynamically tuned, which has attracted enormous attention in recent years and orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing based on metasurfaces has shown promising prospects in terahertz communications. However, existing research on VO2 metasurface focuses on the metallic metasurface. The dielectric VO2 metasurface used for OAM multiplexing is rarely reported to the present. This paper proposed a terahertz reconfigurable dielectric metasurface hybridized with VO2 for two-dimensional multichannel multiplexing combing with spatial and frequency domains. The metasurface works in both reflection and transmission modes and simultaneously the polarization control and operating frequency band regulation can be realized by switching the VO2 from the metallic state to the insulator state. For the reflective or transmissive metasurface, when 4×M-channel (M is a positive integer) off-axis plane waves are incident on the metasurface, the co-polarization reflected or cross-polarization transmitted waves are transformed into 4×M-channel orthogonal on-axis beams with topological or frequency orthogonality. A metasurface composed of 14 × 14 unit cells is designed for verification. The simulated result shows that two-dimensional 12-channel multiplexing combing with OAM and frequency by the designed metasurface can be realized on the reflection and transmission modes in two different frequency bands. The proposed metasurface has great potential in terahertz communications.

“…Quantum information 48−53 , quantum computation 54−60 and quantum metrology 61,62 are the main research hotspots, which can revolutionize current technology and human lives again. Otherwise some other photonic physical systems, such as superconductors 63 , cold atoms 64 , ions 65 , have been investigated fruitfully and show good performance in some way. Quantum optics based on metasurfaces is an emer-ging avenue for highly integrated quantum technologies.…”

From metamaterials to metasurfaces, optical nano-structure has been widely investigated for novel and high efficiency functionalities. Apart from the intrisinsic properties of composite material, rich capabilities can be derived from the judicious design of metasurfaces, which enable more excellent and highly integrated optical devices than traditional bulk optical elements. In the meantime, the abundant manipulation abilites of light in the classical domain can be carried over into quantum domain. In this review, we highlight recent development of quantum optics based on metasurfaces, ranging from quantum plasmonics, generation, manipulation and appplication of quantum light to quantum vaccum engineering etc. Finally, some promising avenues for quantum optics with the help of optical metasurface are presented.
