Abstract: A method for producing an optical element includes: forming a resist layer on a main surface of a substrate; forming a pattern region in the resist layer; forming a groove; forming a dielectric layer covering the pattern region; and forming an optical functional portion. The pattern region is formed in the resist layer. The groove is formed in a portion corresponding to a periphery of the pattern region as viewed in a direction orthogonal to the main surface. A dielectric is deposited to form the dielectric layer. After the dielectric layer covering the pattern region is formed, the resist layer is removed to form the optical functional portion at a position where the pattern region is disposed on the main surface. The optical functional portion is made of the dielectric.

Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a light-emitting device comprising a reflective metasurface modulating a phase for each of pixels constituting a one- or two-dimensional array. The light-emitting device comprises a surface emitting laser element, a light guide layer, and the metasurface. The metasurface has a light transmissive layer including a dielectric layer, one metal film on one surface thereof, and the other metal film on the other surface thereof. In each of unit regions corresponding to the pixels, the light transmissive layer includes a portion exposed without being covered with the metal film. The width of each unit region and the thickness of the light transmissive layer are smaller than the wavelength of the laser light to the metasurface. The metasurface modulates the phase of the laser light for each unit region. A first light output surface outputs the modulated laser.

Abstract: A reflective dynamic metasurface of an embodiment comprises a structure enabling phase modulation in each of pixels constituting at least a one-dimensional array. The metasurface includes: a laminated structure body having a transparent conductive layer and a dielectric layer; a first metal film on one surface of the laminated structure body; a second metal film on the other surface of the laminated structure body; and a drive circuit controlling voltage applied between the first and second metal films. The first and second metal films are arranged to sandwich the pixels. The first metal film is arranged to expose a pair of window regions in one pixel, and the second metal film includes partial metal films defining the shape of each pixel and separated from each other. The drive circuit individually controls the potential of each partial metal film, thereby modulating the phase of the input light for each pixel.
