A multifocus optical vortex metalens, with enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, is presented, which focuses three longitudinal vortices distinct topological charges at different focal planes. The design largely extends the flexibility of tuning number and their positions for circularly polarized light in a compact device, provides convenience nanomanipulation vortices.
Abstract The dielectric metasurface hologram promises higher efficiencies due to lower absorption than its plasmonic counterpart. However, it has only been used, up now, for controlling linear‐polarization photons form single‐plane holographic images in the near‐infrared region. Here, we report a transmission‐type metahologram achieving three colors, free from high‐order diffraction and twin‐image issues, with 8‐level modulation of geometric phase by photon spin via precisely patterned Si...
Miniaturization of optical structures makes it possible to control light at the nanoscale, but on other hand imposes a challenge accurately handling numerous unit elements in miniaturized device with aperiodic and random arrangements.

Abstract Metasurfaces as artificially nanostructured interfaces hold significant potential for multi-functionality, which may play a pivotal role in the next-generation compact nano-devices. The majority of multi-tasked metasurfaces encode or encrypt multi-information either into carefully tailored pre-set complex incident beam arrays. Here, we propose and demonstrate multi-momentum transformation metasurface (i.e., meta-transformer), by fully synergizing intrinsic properties light, e.g.,...
Quantum entanglements between integer-order and fractional-order orbital angular momentums (OAMs) have been previously discussed. However, the entangled nature of arbitrary rational-order OAM has long considered a myth due to absence an effective strategy for generating beams. Therefore, we report single metadevice comprising bilaterally symmetric grating with aperture, creating optical beams dynamically controllable values that are continuously varying over rational range. Due its encoded...
The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light can be taken as an independent and orthogonal degree freedom for multiplexing in optical communication system, potentially improving the system capacity to hundreds Tbits per second.
Abstract Metasurfaces enable the full control of electromagnetic waves over a wide spectrum. High‐efficiency transmissive metasurfaces have been demonstrated up to visible frequencies by using dielectrics. However, extending operating spectrum ultraviolet range is challenging. This due strong absorption in typical dielectric materials and inexhaustive understanding magnetic resonances nanostructures. Here, large‐bandgap material—niobium pentoxide (Nb 2 O 5 )—is introduced engineer geometric...
The Rashba effect, i.e., the splitting of electronic spin-polarized bands in momentum space a crystal with broken inversion symmetry, has enabled realization spin-orbitronic devices, which spins are manipulated by spin-orbit coupling. In optics, where helicity light polarization represents spin degree freedom for spin-momentum coupling, optical effect is manifested states opposite chirality space. Previous realizations relied on passive devices determining surface plasmon or propagation...

However, existing approaches on WPCs when illuminating from top, requiring resolutions beyond limit of commercial TPL, which necessitates postprocessing...
Metasurfaces supporting optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) are emerging as simple and compact cavities to realize polarization-vortex lasers. The winding of polarization around singularity defines topological charges which generally set by cavity design cannot be altered without changing geometrical parameters. Here, a subwavelength-thin phase-change halide perovskite BIC metasurface functioning tunable vortex microlaser is demonstrated. Upon structural phase transitions, both its...
Coherent deep ultraviolet (DUV) light sources are crucial for various applications such as nanolithography, biomedical imaging, and spectroscopy. DUV can be generated by using conventional nonlinear optical crystals (NLOs). However, NLOs limited their bulky size, inadequate transparency at the regime, stringent phase-matching requirements harmonic generation. Recently, dielectric metasurfaces support high Q-factor resonances offer a promising approach efficient generation short wavelengths....
Tunable thin-film coating-based reflective color displays have versatile applications including image sensors, camouflage devices, spatial light modulators, and intelligent windows. However, generating high-purity colors using such coatings posed a challenge. Here, we reveal generation an ultralow-loss phase change material (Sb2S3)-based tunable aperiodic distributed Bragg reflector (A-DBR). By strategically adjusting the periodicity of adjacent layers A-DBRs, realize narrow photonic bandgap...
