Active meta-optics and nanophotonics with halide perovskites

Abstract

Meta-optics based on optically resonant all-dielectric structures is a rapidly developing research area driven by its potential applications for low-loss efficient metadevices. Active, light-emitting subwavelengh nanostructures and metasurfaces are of particular interest for meta-optics, as they offer unique opportunities for novel types of compact light sources and nanolasers. Recently, the study of “halide perovskites” has attracted enormous attention due to their exceptional optical and electrical properties. As a result, this family of materials can provide a prospective platform for modern nanophotonics and meta-optics, allowing us to overcome many obstacles associated with the use of conventional semiconductor materials. Here, we review the recent progress in the field of halide-perovskite meta-optics with the central focus on light-emitting nanoantennas and metasurfaces for the emerging field of “active metadevices.”
