Re:Simple silicon coating solves long-standing optical chall... by throwaway2568 on Monday November 15, 2021 @11:13AM (#29229061)
Capasso's [1] group has been working on projects like this for a couple of decades. It falls within the realm of work on metasurfaces. At a high level you can consider the silicon working in a sub wavelength regime, so that the optics interacts with an effective material which is engineered by changing the geometry of the sub wavelength features. They recently launched a startup [2] to commercialise the developed capabilities.
