Course\u202fTitle: <\/strong>METASURFACE FLAT OPTICS<\/span><\/p>\nCourse\u202fLevel:<\/strong> I do not wish to select a level for my Short Course as it is designed for all audiences and most of the
\nrequired background will be introduced at the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\nCourse\u202fDescription:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nThe course is focused on metasurfaces, sub-wavelength scale artificially structured metal-dielectric
\nsurfaces and upon their applications. Metasurfaces enable the redesign of optical components into thin,
\nplanar, and multifunctional elements. This leads to a major reduction in thickness, in footprint, and in
\nsystem complexity, and leads to ease of optical alignment and aberration control. As well, this leads to
\nthe introduction of new optical functions, thus circumventing the limitations of refractive and
\nconventional diffractive optics. The planarity of flat optics facilitates the unification of semiconductor
\nmanufacturing and lens-making, where the planar technology to manufacture chips will be adapted to
\nmake CMOS compatible metasurface-based optical components for high volume markets and for specialty
\napplications, ranging from metalenses to novel polarization optics and to multifunctional optical
\nelements.
\nThe required wavefront control underlying the desired functions is achieved by designing through
\ndispersion engineering a library of optical elements that control the phase shift, the amplitude, and the
\npolarization of a light beam. This wavefront control is physically understood through a generalization of
\nHuygens principle and is performed using a variety of simulation techniques. The Finite Difference Time
\nDomain method to solve Maxwell\u2019s equations will be introduced and applied to the design of a broad
\nrange of components. Topological optimization and inverse design methods will be briefly discussed in
\nthe context of specific applications.
\nDesign, fabrication and measurements of metalenses, holograms, multifunctional metasurfaces and
\nwaveplates, will be covered with particular emphasis on polarization optics. Applications such as imaging,
\nAR\/VR (Augmented Reality\/Virtual Reality), miniature spectrometers, polarimetry, and fiber optics will
\nbe discussed. Commercialization of metaoptics will be briefly discussed.<\/p>\n
