| contents | Metasurfaces play a key role in functionalizing light at the nanoscale. Existing dielectric metasurfaces, however, are often limited to geometric primitives and their usage in emergent hybrid metasurfaces is hampered as confinement of light occurs only in their interior. Taking inspiration from biophotonic systems in nature, we introduce a new class of hybrid metasurfaces, which combine ordered and disordered elements. While the ordered phase relies on non-reciprocal meta-atoms - whose breaking of the out-of-plane symmetry enables the confinement of visible light in air, the disordered phase exploits global plasmonic network modes and their ability to localize energy at nanometric scales. By generating configurable structural colors with extra-ordinary resolution, we demonstrate that coupling of these elements provides a new dimension in the design space. We showcase that control of the local light-matter interaction enables the creation of intricate, customizable optical patterns, which open new avenues for information encoding and high-security features. |
