Abstract:
Metasurface elements, integrated systems incorporating such metasurface elements with light sources and/or detectors, and methods of the manufacture and operation of such optical arrangements and integrated systems are provided. Systems and methods for integrating transmissive metasurfaces with other semiconductor devices or additional metasurface elements, and more particularly to the integration of such metasurfaces with substrates, illumination sources and sensors are also provided. The metasurface elements provided may be used to shape output light from an illumination source or collect light reflected from a scene to form two unique patterns using the polarization of light. In such embodiments, shaped-emission and collection may be combined into a single co-designed probing and sensing optical system.

Claim (Index 27):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n forming a plurality of identical or unique first metasurface elements; providing a plurality of identical or unique sensor elements disposed in a planar array and integrating at least one of the plurality of first metasurface elements with each of the plurality of sensor elements in the array such that light impinging on each of said plurality of sensor elements passes through at least one of the first metasurface elements and an angular deflection is imposed thereby; disposing a first spacer layer between the planar array of sensor elements and the first metasurface elements, the first spacer layer being configured to create convergence in light impinging on each of the first metasurface elements of prior to impinging on the respective sensor elements of the planar array; disposing a second metasurface element at a distance from the plurality of first metasurface elements, the second metasurface element configured to imprint a far-field illumination pattern onto a light field impinging thereon; and disposing a second spacer layer between the first and second metasurface elements such that an offset distance is formed therebetween.
