Patterning surfaces with subwavelength spaced metallo-dielectric features (metasurfaces) allows one to generate complex 3D and 2D wavefronts by locally controlling the amplitude, phase and polarization of the scattered light.

1,2 Recent results on achromatic lenses and collimators as well as chiral holograms will be presented. Metasurfaces have also become a powerful tool to shape surface waves. I will present experiments on imaging surface plasmons that have revealed the formation of Cherenkov wakes and their control with one dimensional metastructures.
