From parabolic-trough to metasurface-concentrator

open access: yes, 2017
Metasurfaces are promising tools towards novel designs for flat optics applications. As such their quality and tolerance to fabrication imperfections need to be evaluated with specific tools. However, most such tools rely on the geometrical optics approximation and are not straightforwardly applicable to metasurfaces.
