    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Metamaterials
    • Optical Engineering
    • Applied Physics

    Background:

    • Traditional varifocal mirrors rely on mechanical or fluid pressure, leading to bulky devices with limited tunability.
    • Existing technologies face challenges in size, weight, and precise control for optical applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate an active reconfigurable metasurface for precise wavefront manipulation.
    • To develop an ultrathin, lightweight varifocal mirror with enhanced tunability and precise phase control.

    Main Methods:

    • An active reconfigurable metasurface was designed, integrating meta-atoms with varactor diodes.
    • The electromagnetic response was manipulated by varying bias voltage (0-20 V), altering resonant frequency (5.5-6.0 GHz).
    • The metasurface's ability to steer focus axially and across the working plane was investigated.

    Main Results:

    • The metasurface achieved a 5 diopter (50%) change in focal power without mechanical components.
    • A broad tunable phase region and frequency band were generated.
    • The focus point was steerable both axially and in the entire working plane.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed focus-tunable metasurface mirror offers a significant advancement over conventional varifocal mirrors.
    • This technology enables ultrathin, reconfigurable optical devices with potential applications in multiphoton microscopy, high-speed imaging, and confocal microscopy.
