Abstract:
Metasurfaces comprise an array of meta-atoms in a stretchable polymer. The dimensions and shapes of the meta-atoms and the spacing are varied to obtain desired optical properties. Any optical wavefront, for different wavelengths, illumination angles, and polarization states can be designed with proper design of the meta-atoms. As the metasurface is stretched, the distance between the meta-atoms changes, modifying the optical response, while the dimensions of the meta-atoms remains constant.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n providing a metasurface lens having a focal length, the metasurface lens comprising:\n a plurality of dielectric scattering elements embedded in a flexible substrate, the plurality of dielectric scattering elements configured to control a phase and an amplitude of incident electromagnetic waves; and \n varying the focal length from a first focal length to a second focal length different from the first focal length, by applying a stretching force to the flexible substrate, thereby varying a spacing between adjacent scattering elements of the plurality of dielectric scattering elements.
