Conformable Holographic Metasurfaces

Conformable Holographic Metasurfaces

Abstract Metasurface holograms are typically fabricated on rigid substrates. Here we experimentally demonstrate broadband, flexible, conformable, helicity multiplexed metasurface holograms operating in the visible range, offering increased potential for real life out-of-the-lab applications. Two sym...
