Optical metasurfaces typically consist of subwavelength-sized scattering particles placed deterministically on top of a flat surface. The tuning of the metasurface's structural parameters allows for a fine control over the modulation of the wavefront, polarization, and spectrum of a given incident light field.
So far, most of the realized metasurfaces were based on a periodic arrangement of the scattering particles, as the introduction of disorder in the particle position, shape, or orientation inevitably leads to an increase of incoherent scattering and thus to a deterioration of the metasurface's optical properties. More recently, however, it was recognized that the controlled introduction of disorder can, for example, decrease unwanted anisotropy in the optical response and enhance the channel capacity of wavefront-shaping metasurfaces.
In this study, we investigate disordered silicon metasurfaces exhibiting electric and magnetic dipolar Mie-type resonances. We systematically investigate how the introduction of different types of positional disorder influences the phase and intensity transmitted by these metasurfaces, showing that disorder can serve as a new degree of freedom in the design of wavefront-shaping devices.
