The research and development of optical metasurfaces has been primarily driven by the curiosity for novel optical phenomena that are unattainable from materials that exist in nature and by the desire for miniaturization of optical devices. Metasurfaces constructed of artificial patterns of subwavelength depth make it possible to achieve flat, ultrathin optical devices of high performance. A wide variety of fabrication techniques have been developed to explore their unconventional functionalities which in many ways have revolutionized the means with which we control and manipulate electromagnetic waves. The relevant research community could benefit from an overview on recent progress in the fabrication and applications of the metasurfaces. This review article is intended to serve that purpose by reviewing the state-of-the-art fabrication methods and surveying their cutting-edge applications.
光学超表面的研发主要源于对自然界现有材料无法实现的新型光学现象的好奇，以及对光学器件小型化的渴望。由亚波长深度的人工图案构成的超表面使得制造高性能的平面超薄光学器件成为可能。人们已经开发出各种各样的制造技术来探索其非常规功能，这些功能在很多方面彻底改变了我们控制和操纵电磁波的方式。相关研究群体能从超表面制造与应用的近期进展综述中受益。这篇综述文章旨在通过回顾最先进的制造方法并审视其前沿应用来达成这一目的。
