Description: 
In this work we review the concept of optical fiber meta-tips, recently introduced by the authors. Optical fiber meta-tips come from the integration of plasmonic optical metasurfaces and the fiber optics technology. In particular, this integration is a major breakthrough in the recently emerged “Lab-On-Fiber” technology, where nanostructured platforms with special capabilities of light manipulation are integrated onto the tip of an optical fiber. Optical fiber meta-tips can, on one side, boost the real world applicability of optical metasurfaces, and, on the other side, bring about more advanced capabilities of on-fiber control and manipulation of light wavefront and polarization. With a view towards possible practical applications to label-free chemical and biological sensing, we inspect the potentialities of optical fiber meta-tips to work as sensors of local refractive index variations, and aim at studying the effect that the phase …
