Nanostructure-Based Design of Visual Perception using High-Index Disordered Metasurface Physics
The optics of disordered media with subwavelength high-contrast resonant inhomogeneities is a fascinating research topic emerging at the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. UNSEEN explores and exploits unconventional wave-interference phenomena in disordered metasurfaces towards a new application: the creation of brand-new visual appearance. Our perception of objects is completely determined by how they scatter light. Color is crucial, but other attributes, such as texture, gloss for reflective surfaces, clarity for transmissive ones, illumination directivity also largely influence appearance. Although this perception plays a key role in virtually all…
