Optoelectronic metadevices.

Metasurfaces have introduced new opportunities in photonic design by offering unprecedented, nanoscale control over optical wavefronts. These artificially structured layers have largely been used to passively manipulate the flow of light by controlling its phase, amplitude, and polarization. However, they can also dynamically modulate these quantities and manipulate fundamental light absorption and emission processes. These valuable traits can extend their application domain to chipscale optoelectronics and conceptually new optical sources, displays, spatial light modulators, photodetectors, solar cells, and imaging systems. New opportunities and challenges have also emerged in the materials and device integration with existing technologies. This Review aims to consolidate the current research landscape and provide perspectives on metasurface capabilities specific to optoelectronic devices, giving new direction to future research and development efforts in academia and industry.
