Dynamic steering of laser beams by ultrathin optical metasurfaces is a significant research advance for possible applications in remote ranging and sensing. A unique platform for such important functionalities is offered by dielectric metasurfaces that have the highest transmission efficiency. However, the realization of dynamically tunable metasurfaces still remains a challenge. Here we experimentally demonstrate the dynamic switching of beam deflection by a silicon-nanodisk dielectric metasurface infiltrated with liquid crystals. In particular, we show the switching of a laser beam from 0 degrees to a 12 degrees angle with an efficiency of 50% by heating the metasurface to modify the liquid crystal state from nematic to isotropic. Our results open important opportunities for tunable ultrathin beam steering metadevices.
