contents Metasurface has emerged as a powerful platform for controlling light at subwavelength thickness, enabling new functionalities for imaging, polarization manipulation, and angular momentum conversion within a flat surface. We explored an integrated asymmetric metasurface simultaneously achieving broadband, low loss forward power transmission, and significant back reflection sup-pression in multi-mode waveguides. The tapering along the direction of light propagation leads to low loss and space-efficient mode conversion. Enhanced by a double-flipped structure, a thin (2.5 micrometer) metasurface can simultaneously achieve high conversion efficiency (>80 percent), and back-reflection efficiency of 90 percent over a 200 nm wavelength range. Such single sided reflectors can be one of the enabling components for gain-integrated adaptive optics on a chip.
