Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Optical metasurfaces can achieve arbitrary wavefront control using subwavelength nanostructures, enabling imaging, sensing, and display applications using ultrathin structures. Metasurface optical elements that rely on propagation phase achieve this control using varying fill fractions of high refractive index materials, resulting in surface regions with significantly different effective refractive index. The intrinsic need for index variation makes it a non-trivial task to eliminate reflection losses across a complete optical element. Here, we investigate the optical performance of high-index metasurfaces, modified to suppress surface reflections. We demonstrate that a drastic reduction of surface reflections across an entire gradient metasurface is possible through the application of a single optimized anti-reflective layer with a thickness and refractive index that are substantially different from the traditionally expected values.
