A groundbreaking method now enables the rapid and cost-effective production of optical components for infrared applications. Using metasurfaces and phase-change materials, customized infrared optics can be directly programmed with laser light. Potential applications range from LIDAR and thermal imaging to optical holography. The results, published in Nature Communications, lay the groundwork for new infrared optical technologies. JARA-FIT member Prof. Thomas Taubner and his institute were key contributors to this research.
