Summary

• What is new: Introduces a novel dual-gradient metasurface design for enhanced light-matter interactions, achieving a high resonance density.
• Why this is important: Existing photonic approaches cannot simultaneously control the spectral overlap and quality factor of light-matter interactions in complex systems.
• What the research proposes: A nanophotonic approach using a 2D array of varying subwavelength nanoresonators to encode the spectral and quality factor parameter space within a compact area.
• Results: Achieved 27,500 distinct modes within one array and demonstrated enhanced surface molecular sensing.
