Plasmonic metasurfaces, i.e., ultrathin arrays of engineered metallic meta-atoms, have attracted increasing attention due to their unprecedented capabilities of molding classical light. Despite significant progress, most existing metadevices to date are passive and lack real-time dynamic modulation post-fabrication. Therefore, it is highly desirable to realize tunable metasurfaces with functionalities actively controlled by applying external stimuli, which are promising for more intelligent and adaptive systems. In this talk, I will talk about a piezoelectric MEMS-empowered dynamic metasurface platform for active wavefront shaping by electrically varying the gap between the MEMS mirror and the designed optical metasurface layer. In particular, I will introduce how to achieve full-range birefringence control and tunable chirality.
