Towards active electro-optic lithium niobate metasurfaces

Abstract

We present the design and fabrication advances on active lithium niobate metasurfaces. We determine by numerical calculations a metasurface design with electro-magnetic resonances in the visible and near-infrared, by taking into account the constraints for fabrication on thin films of lithium niobate. We suggest that the optical properties of the metasurface can be switched using the electro-optical properties of lithium niobate.
