Here, we propose a concept of tunable dielectric metasurfaces modulated by liquid crystal, which can provide abrupt phase change, thus enabling pixel-size miniaturization. urface liquid crystal (LC)-based SLM for the modulation of high-power transmitted light. Our device uses a photoactive top contact which is optically addressed with a patterned 435 nm laser, cr ating a transient electrical contact that selectively switches the underlying LC medium. Here, we report on the design and realization of an optically addressable. Emerging demands for dynamic wavefront modulation in holographic displays, augmented/virtual reality, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) require spatial light modulators (SLMs) with high pixel density and fast refresh rates.
