Abstract
Tuning the optical response of metasurfaces can unleash their full potential as compact and reactive optical elements. Here, we present two different approaches to tune the spectral response of a metasurface. In the first approach, a micro-electromechanical system(MEMS)-actuated metasurface is demonstrated in the visible range of the optical spectrum. It consists of an amorphous silicon nanopillar array and a suspended silicon membrane with integrated electrostatic actuators. The second approach utilizes light itself to reconfigure the metasurface by trapping nanoparticles within a templated plasmonic substrate. Optical forces control the position of the nanoparticles, which in turn tune the metasurface spectral response.
