Abstract :
A completely new class of planar optics has emerged using subwavelength metastructures with a large index contrast. Uniform and chirped gratings can be used to create high reflection mirrors, high-Q resonators with surface-normal output, hollow core waveguide, vertical to in-plane waveguide coupler, and focusing reflectors and lenses.
