Diffractive photonic devices manipulate light via local and nonlocal optical modes. Local devices, such as metasurfaces, can shape a wave front at multiple selected wavelengths, but inevitably modify light across the spectrum; nonlocal devices, such as grating filters, offer great frequency selectivity but limited spatial control. Here, we introduce a rational design paradigm using quasibound states in the continuum to realize multifunctional nonlocal devices: metasurfaces that produce narrow band spatially tailored wave fronts at multiple selected wavelengths and yet are otherwise transparent.
