Flat Optics (FlatOptics)

Nanostructured surfaces, or metasurfaces, have emerged as a powerful technology to both actively and passively control the amplitude, phase and polarization of incident light.

This topical meeting addresses the design and fabrication of metasurfaces for making flat optical components as well as their applications in real optical systems. It provides a forum for enabling the interaction between experts in nanophotonics and optical design with the goal of accelerating the creation of high-end, multifunctional optical components and systems.

FlatOptics will cover all levels of metasurface technology including fundamentals, design, simulation and manufacturing, as well as its use in practical optical systems. Advanced topics on the simulation and design of flat optical devices using inverse design and machine learning will be discussed. Other topics included are advanced large-scale manufacturing of active and tunable devices as well as flat optical devices for long wavelength regions. Emerging applications of flat optical and metasurface components in systems (displays, Lidar, depth sensors, augmented and virtual reality, quantum, communications, etc.) will also be discussed.
