    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to nanostructured trans-reflective filters having sub-wavelength dimensions. In one embodiment, the trans-reflective filter includes a film stack that transmits a filtered light within a range of wavelengths and reflects light not within the first range of wavelengths. The film stack includes a first metal film disposed on a substrate having a first thickness, a first dielectric film disposed on the first metal film having a second thickness, a second metal film disposed on the first dielectric film having a third thickness, and a second dielectric film disposed on the second metal film having a fourth thickness.

    Abstract: Embodiments of metasurfaces having nanostructures with desired geometric profiles and configurations are provided in the present disclosure. In one embodiment, a metasurface includes a nanostructure formed on a substrate, wherein the nanostructure is cuboidal or cylindrical in shape. In another embodiment, a metasurface includes a plurality of nanostructures on a substrate, wherein each of the nanostructures has a gap greater than 35 nm spaced apart from each other. In yet another embodiment, a metasurface includes a plurality of nanostructures on a substrate, wherein the nanostructures are fabricated from at least one of TiO2, silicon nitride, or amorphous silicon, or GaN or aluminum zinc oxide or any material with refractive index greater than 1.8, and absorption coefficient smaller than 0.001, the substrate is transparent with absorption coefficient smaller than 0.001.

    Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein relate to color filters for display devices, and more specifically to color filters for transmitting or reflecting and recycling colors of light in liquid crystal display devices. In one aspect, a metasurface is formed between two polarizers in an LCD device. In another aspect, a metasurface is formed on a white light guide of an LCD device. The metasurface is formed to transmit desired color(s) of light and to reflect undesired color(s) of light back into the light guide to be recycled and passed through the LCD device elsewhere. Using the color filter to recycle reflected colors of light increases the efficiency of the display device, such as the LCD device.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods of forming optical devices comprising nanostructures disposed on transparent substrates. A substrate, such as a silicon wafer, is provided as a base for forming an optical device. A transparent layer is disposed on a first surface of the substrate, and a structure layer is disposed on the transparent surface. An etch mask layer is disposed on a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface, and a window or opening is formed in the etch mask layer to expose a portion of the second surface of the substrate. A plurality of nanostructures is then formed in the structure layer, and a portion of the substrate extending from the window to the transparent layer is removed. A portion of the transparent layer having nanostructures disposed thereon is then detached from the substrate to form an optical device.
