Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Materials Science
  • Solid Mechanics

Background:

  • Optical metamaterials offer novel functionalities for advanced optical devices.
  • Visible spectrum metamaterial development faces challenges in high cost and slow nanofabrication.
  • Existing methods struggle with large-scale, broadband visible light manipulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate macroscale elasto-optic metamaterials for broadband visible light control.
  • To overcome fabrication limitations of traditional metamaterials.
  • To enable direct processing of natural light by metamaterial-based devices.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized elasto-optic metamaterials combining optics and solid mechanics.
  • Employed mesoscopically homogeneous bulk aerogels with broadband optical transparency.
  • Achieved stress-tuneable refractive index from 1.43 down to ~1.074.

Main Results:

  • Successfully fabricated macroscale transformation-optics wave bender (>35 mm) and Luneburg lens.
  • Demonstrated control and redirection of broadband white-light visible wavelengths.
  • Light manipulation achieved in a large volume (>10^5λ × 10^5λ × 10^3λ).

Conclusions:

  • Elasto-optic metamaterials offer a viable, cost-effective alternative for large-scale optical devices.
  • Aerogel-based metamaterials enable broadband visible light manipulation without coupling components.
  • This approach paves the way for direct integration of natural light with metamaterial devices.
