摘要

Abstract

Compact nanophotonic elements exhibiting adaptable properties are essential components for the miniaturization of powerful optical technologies such as adaptive optics and spatial light modulators. While the larger counterparts typically rely on mechanical actuation

this can be undesirable in some cases on a microscopic scale due to inherent space restrictions. Here

we present a novel design concept for highly integrated active optical components that employs a combination of resonant plasmonic metasurfaces and the phase-change material Ge

. In particular

we demonstrate beam switching and bifocal lensing

thus

paving the way for a plethora of active optical elements employing plasmonic metasurfaces

which follow the same design principles.
