Nonlinear holography enables optical beam generation and holographic image reconstruction at new frequencies other than the excitation fundamental frequency, providing pathways toward unprecedented applications in information processing data security. So far, plasmonic metasurfaces with thickness of tens nanometers have been mostly adopted for realizing nonlinear holograms potential on-chip integration but suffering from low conversion efficiency high absorption loss.

Initiated as a cable-replacement solution, short-range wireless power transfer has rapidly become ubiquitous in the development of modern high-data throughput networking centimeter to meter accessibility range. Wireless technology is now penetrating higher level system integration for chip-to-chip and on-chip radiofrequency interconnects. However, standard CMOS integrated millimeter-wave antennas have typical size commensurable with operating wavelength, are thus an unrealistic solution...
