1+ day, 10+ hour ago   (83+ words) On-chip photonic systems for generating vectorial optical fields (VOFs) are highly desired, yet conventional devices remain bulky and lack control capabilities. A class of surface-wave-excited complex-amplitude metasurfaces is proposed that can independently control the amplitude, phase, and polarization of locally…...
