Abstract: Metasurfaces, a new emerging class of artificial planar materials consisting of arrays of sub-wavelength resonant elements, exhibit structure-determined electromagnetic properties and functionalities, and possess strong ability of controlling the wave front. We herein mainly discuss the theoretical and experimental research advances in optical transmission characteristics of nanostructured metasurfaces in infrared region, from the perspectives of polarization control, optical activity and asymmetric transmission, and also briefly describe metasurfaces’ manufacturing technique. The paper ends with a discussion on the future development trends.
