We report a low-cost, large-area fabrication process using solution-based nanoimprinting and compact ligand exchange of colloidal Au nanocrystals to define anisotropic, subwavelength, plasmonic nanoinclusions for optical metasurfaces. Rod-shaped, Au nanocrystal-based nanoantennas possess strong, localized, plasmonic resonances able to control polarization. We fabricate metasurfaces from rod-shaped nanoantennas tailored in size and spacing to demonstrate Au nanocrystal-based quarter-wave plates that operate with extreme bandwidths and provide high polarization conversion efficiencies in the near-to-mid infrared.
