Fundamental Limitations of Huygens' Metasurfaces for Optical Beam Shaping

Carlo Gigli et al.

Summary: Optical dielectric metasurfaces composed of arrayed nanostructures allow for arbitrary spatial control of incident wavefronts with subwavelength resolution. Two physical effects are typically used for phase modulation, with one requiring high aspect ratios and the other being flatter and easier to manufacture. By comparing the two approaches, fundamental limitations of the latter method are identified, such as symmetry breaking.
