Main Results:

  • Successful generation of Bessel beams using the proposed metasurface device.
  • Achieved continuous phase modulation across the entire 0 to 2π range with a single element.
  • Demonstrated broadband operation due to dispersionless phase shift from spin-orbit interaction.

Conclusions:

  • Metasurface-based Bessel beam generators offer a compact and efficient solution for nanoscale optical manipulation.
  • The proposed devices enable versatile applications in optical communication, nanofabrication, and super-resolution imaging.
  • Spin-orbit interaction-based dispersionless phase shift allows for wide wavelength range operation.
