“…Kats et al have shown that the mid‐infrared plasmonic response of nanoantenna arrays can be modulated by using the index change of an underlying VO 2 substrate in proximity to its phase transition . Recent studies showed that, via direct thermal control, dynamically manipulated plasmonic color ( Figure a), extinction ratio, and polarization state of light (Figure 3b) can be achieved in hybrid metasurfaces integrated with VO 2 nanostructures.…”

Evolving from metamaterials, optical metasurfaces not only inherit their unprecedented flexibility in tailoring light–matter interaction but also the generally fixed response determined by the metaatoms' geometries—an undesirable property that hinders the development of practical metadevices. Consequently, novel optical metasurfaces that can be tuned in an active manner are intensively studied in recent years. Due to their optically thin structures, optical metasurfaces present unique characteristics in the realization of dynamic tuning. In this review, a detailed summary of the recent advances in active optical metasurfaces is provided including discussions reviewing a variety of active materials and approaches that enable faster, stronger, and more accurate tuning. Beyond facilitating practical metadevices, studies of active metasurfaces have, and will continue to deepen the understandings of the interaction between light and nanostructured photonic architectures and to promote the development of nanofabrication techniques involving high‐complexity.

“…In recent years, the enhanced optical transmission (EOT) effect brought by metal-based surface plasmons has been applied in different wavelengths, including visible light, near-infrared and infrared ranges.

The electromagnetic spectrum includes the frequency range (spectrum) of electromagnetic radiation and its corresponding wavelength and energy. Due to the unique properties of different frequency ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, a series of functional devices working in each frequency rang have been proposed. Here, we propose a periodic subwavelength hoof-shaped structure array, which contains a variety of geometric configurations, including U-shaped and rectangle structures. The results show that the enhanced optical transmission (EOT) effect of the surface plasmon excited by the hoof-shaped structure is highly sensitive to the polarization of the incident light, which leads to the peak's location shift and the amplitude intensity variety of transmission peaks of U-shaped structure in the case of coupling based on the surface plasmon of rectangle structure. In addition, take advantage of the EOT effect realized in the periodic hoof-shaped structure array, we propose a multifunctional plasmon optical device in the infrared range. By adjusting the polarization angle of the incident light, the functions of the optical splitter in the near-infrared range and the optical switch in the mid-infrared range are realized. Moreover, with the changes of the polarization angle, different proportions of optical intensities split are realized. The device has theoretically confirmed the feasibility of designing multifunctional integrated devices through a hoof-shaped-based metamaterial nanostructure, which provides a broad prospect for the extensive use of multiple physical mechanisms in the future to achieve numerous functions in simple nanostructures.

“…However, for the TE‐polarized light demonstrated in Figure b, the transmission bandwidths are much wider with different peak transmission characteristics, which make their corresponding colors different from those of TM‐polarized light. Therefore, a single pixel filled with proposed metasurface produces variable transmitted colors in perpendicular planes, showing distinctive color characteristics compared to temperature‐modulated dynamic color generation …”

aroused tremendous interest for potential applications in anti-counterfeiting, [15,16] display/image devices, [17][18][19] and printing, [20,21] showing great prospects for sustainable production and recycling. [11] Recently, structural colors based on perforated metal films, [39,41] silicon dioxide (SiO 2 )loaded aluminum (Al), [34] Al-silicon nitride (SiN x ) nanowire arrays, [35] metalinsulator-metal nanoresonators, [10,27,28] and Al nanopatches/cylinders have been presented. [32,40] In these cases, colorrendering samples are generally fabricated on micrometer scales by focused ion beam or electron-beam lithography. Given this drawback, multilayer stacked films, such as silver (Ag)-SiO 2 -Ag, [21] Ag-titanium oxide (TiO 2 )-Ag, [22] and Ag-amorphous silicon (a-Si)-Ag, [23] with large areas have been explored. However, the variation range of the colors from these films is usually limited, and for that reason the films cannot be applied for optical security. Furthermore, in these configurations, noble metals are usually involved, which limits their practical applications. The metal Al, with low cost, natural abundance, high stability, good adhesion to various platforms, and compatibility with the complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor process, [42,43] has been regarded as the most promising material for a variety of practical industrial applications. Moreover, its plasma frequency is higher than that of gold (Au) or Ag, making it the most promising metal for structural colors covering the entire visible range.Here, we develop a plasmonic metasurface that consists of one-dimensional (1D) dielectric grating arrays incorporating an Al nanopatch array and a SiN x layer. The metasurface transmits polarization-dependent colors in perpendicular planes at the same incident angle, which results from the asymmetric geometric of the metasurface. A wide range of high-purity colors, including red (R), green (G), and blue (B), is obtained in the transmission by fine-tuning the period of the nanograting. A peak efficiency of ≈60% is obtained as a result of surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) and guided mode resonance (GMR). Finally, large-area (3 cm × 3 cm) samples with various grating periods are experimentally demonstrated, incorporating highthroughput and low-cost continuously variable spatial frequency photolithography, which has advantages in fabrication speed, fabrication area, and cost.Structure design. The proposed metasurface is schematically illustrated in Figure 1, where a 230 nm thick dielectric grating, a 30 nm thick Al layer and a 200 nm thick SiN x film are stacked Color printing based on plasmonic nanostructures has attracted much attention due to its broad potential applications. It is still an open question regarding how to achieve large-area plasmonic colors for practical use. In this study, large-area plasmonic metasurfaces that incorporate a dielectric grating, an aluminum nanopatch array, and a silicon nitride layer are designed and fabricated. The asymmetric geometry of the metasurfaces produces a strong ...
