Despite their exotic properties active metamaterials, where active materials are introduced to advance tunability, switchability and nonlinearity, are seldom reported. Here, Liu et al. demonstrate a vanadium dioxide integrated photonic metamaterial as a transformative platform for multifunctional control.
