摘要

Abstract

In the last decades

metasurfaces have attracted much attention because of their extraordinary light-scattering properties. However

their inherently static geometry is an obstacle to many applications where dynamic tunability in their optical behaviour is required. Currently

there is a quest to enable dynamic tuning of metasurface properties

particularly with fast tuning rate

large modulation by small electrical signals

solid state and programmable across multiple pixels. Here

we demonstrate electrically tunable metasurfaces driven by thermo-optic effect and flash-heating in silicon. We show a 9-fold change in transmission by < 5 V biasing voltage and the modulation rise-time of < 625 µs. Our device consists of a silicon hole array metasurface encapsulated by transparent conducting oxide as a localised heater. It allows for video frame rate optical switching over multiple pixels that can be electrically programmed. Some of the advantages of the proposed tuning method compared with other methods are the possibility to apply it for modulation in the visible and near-infrared region

large modulation depth

working at transmission regime

exhibiting low optical loss

low input voltage requirement

and operating with higher than video-rate switching speed. The device is furthermore compatible with modern electronic display technologies and could be ideal for personal electronic devices such as flat displays

virtual reality holography and light detection and ranging

where fast

solid-state and transparent optical switches are required.
