Plasmonic and dielectric nanophotonic building blocks allow for shaping the flow of light at boundaries and interfaces. They have opened the field of metasurfaces, which until now mostly allow for the creation of nearly arbitrary intensity distributions in the far-field. Drawing inspiration from this concept, we introduce metasurfaces for near-field light shaping. Desired near-field intensity distributions can be created by engineering the distribution of individual scatterers on metallic surfaces and hence the interference of the individually launched surface plasmons. Using this ansatz, we demonstrate metasurfaces which enable to direct, focus, and demultiplex incident light. We implement these structures by a peel-off process from molds, which results in ultra-smooth metallic surfaces, maximizing the plasmon propagation length. Far-field measurements based on a k-space spectroscopy setup allow us to image the local near-field and show excellent agreement with modelling and simulation. We envision that the creation of nearly arbitrary near-field distributions will enable nanoscale routing and sorting of light based on polarization, orbital angular momentum, and wavelength, as well as help realize novel coupling schemes to emitters and nanoscale systems.
