In nanophotonics, temperature variations shift the optical response through the thermo-optic (TO) effect (dn/dT) and may be detrimental in certain applications. We present a comprehensive solution to overcome the problem of optical constants thermal dispersion in nanophotonic and meta-optic devices. By using hybrid meta-atoms composed from two materials with positive and negative TO coefficients, we engineer metasurfaces with zero effective thermal dispersion (dneff/dT≈0). We demonstrate temperature independent resonant frequency, amplitude and phase response in metasurfaces, operating across a broad temperature range (ΔT=500K). Controlling the sign and magnitude of TO dispersion extends the capabilities of light manipulation in nanophotonic systems.
