Programmable ‘Virtual’ Metasurface Could Accelerate Advanced Imaging
Key Takeaways
- Nottingham Trent University researchers developed a programmable virtual metasurface based on a spatial light modulator.
- Unlike fixed physical metasurfaces, the system can change optical behavior rapidly and perform multiple functions in one device.
- The study demonstrated infrared-to-visible signal conversion as one example of the platform’s capabilities.
- Potential applications include imaging, microscopy, sensing, beam steering, telecommunications and quantum photonics.
