Metasurfaces are nanostructured surfaces that can be fabricated to specifically manipulate the propagation of light. They represent a revolution in ultrathin optics and nanophotonic circuits. Adding tunable dielectric materials into metasurfaces’ designs enable them to actively control their optical properties after being fabricated. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is one of the most promising materials that could provide such tunability due to its phase-transition at temperatures around 67°C. Being able to gradually induce VO2 phase-transition also optically, with a light beam being focused to a few hundreds of nanometers, tunable metasurfaces based on VO2 could be gradually tuned with nanoscale resolution. Here, we demonstrate a full transmission phase and amplitude investigation of VO2 nanostructures for metasurfaces operating in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The investigation of VO2 nanostructures (metasurface building blocks) is mostly done by simulations, which are later supported by experimental results. Moreover, VO2 nanostructures exhibit Mie resonances that are subsequently utilized for a gradually tunable metasurface in the visible. Besides thermal tuning, the fabricated metasurface is also tuned optically, proving the possibility of gradual optical tuning.
