[Illinois] Ultra-thin Plasmonic Metasurfaces
05 Oct 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Mikhail A. Kats
Most optical components can be grouped under the umbrella of "bulk optics"; i.e. they generally have a non-negligible thickness compared to the wavelength of light. This is the case for prisms, lenses, etc., all of which must be of sufficient thickness such that light accumulates a...
