Background:

Metasurface fabrication faces challenges in scalability and cost with conventional methods like electron-beam lithography.
Existing techniques such as UV steppers and nanoimprinting require expensive, difficult-to-handle large-size masks or stamps.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate a cost-effective and lithography-free method for printing optical metasurfaces.
To overcome the upscaling limitations of current metasurface fabrication technologies.

Main Methods:

Utilizes resonant absorption of laser light within an optical cavity formed by multilayer ultrathin metal and dielectric coatings.
Achieves near-perfect light absorption through interferometric control and critical coupling.
Employs controlled laser power to induce structural transitions in the material, creating nanoscale patterns.

Main Results:

Demonstrates a lithography-free, scalable approach for metasurface fabrication.
Achieves nanoscale precision in pattern formation, transitioning from random to periodic and amorphous structures.
Successfully realizes metasurfaces for structural colors, optical holograms, and diffractive optical elements.

Conclusions:

The developed method offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for large-scale metasurface production.
This approach enables high-resolution patterning for advanced optical applications.
The lithography-free technique significantly advances the practical implementation of metasurfaces.
