Original Abstract Submitted
Meta-optic systems are described that include multi-function metasurfaces formed from a plurality of meta-atoms. A multi-function metasurface can exhibit two or more different optical functions for two or more different states of light incident on the metasurface. Different states of light include different polarizations, different wavelengths, and different angles of incidence. Different optical functions include distance sensing, converging, diverging, image formation, and patterned light formation. The multi-function metasurface can selectively impart different phase profiles to an incident beam depending on the incident beam's state of light.
