EurekAlert  February 17, 2022 Using metasurfaces researchers in Norway designed a device in which a metasurface is suspended on a membrane ring made of a thin-film lead zirconate titanate (PZT) film, which allows the PZT to move the metasurface when a voltage is applied. To demonstrate how MEMS-metasurfaces could function as a varifocal lens doublet, they placed a second metasurface lens after the MEMS-metasurface. Varying the separation distance between the lenses through MEMS displacement allowed researchers to tune the focal point of the lens doublet on the fly. The researchers showed that applying 23 volts allowed the PZT membrane to […]
