Optical components including a metamaterial structure and methods of forming thereof

Abstract

A structure for a photonics chip includes a substrate and an optical component over the substrate. The optical component includes a metamaterial structure, the metamaterial structure including a plurality of elements in series and a dielectric material surrounding the plurality of elements. Each element has a first end surface and a second end surface opposite to the first end surface. The second end surface of each element includes a first end surface portion and a second end surface portion along a lateral position on the second end surface, the second end surface portion having a different orientation from the first end surface portion.
