Surfaces endowed with three-dimensional (3D) mesostructures, showing features in the
nanometer to micrometer range, are critical for applications in several fields of science and …

Diffractive optical elements (DOE) are integral components for lightweight and ultra‐thin
optical elements due to their ability to manipulate light efficiently and accurately. However …

Thin film supramolecular azopolymers support the all‐optical generation of dynamic surface
microstructures. Using a spatial light modulator (SLM) illuminated at 488 nm, structured …

Holographic technologies have been envisioned as potentially impacting many areas of
everyday life, including science, entertainment, and healthcare, but their adoption is still at …

A novel triple-layer array dual-port transmission beam splitter grating with zeroth-order
