Monochromatic light can be characterized by its three fundamental properties: amplitude, phase, and polarization. In this work, we propose a versatile, transmission-mode all-dielectric metasurface platform that can independently manipulate the phase and amplitude for two orthogonal states of polarization in the visible frequency range. For proof-of-concept experimental demonstration, various single-layer metasurfaces composed of subwavelength-spaced titanium-dioxide nanopillars are designed, fabricated, and characterized to exhibit the ability of polarization-switchable multidimensional light-field manipulation, including polarization-switchable grayscale nanoprinting, nonuniform cylindrical lensing, and complex-amplitude holography. We envision the metasurface platform demonstrated here to open new possibilities toward creating compact multifunctional optical devices for applications in polarization optics, information encoding, optical data storage, and security.

通过同时和独立控制相位和振幅来实现正交偏振态的多功能超表面
单色光可以通过其三个基本属性来表征:幅度,相位和偏振。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个通用的,传输模式的全介电超表面平台,该平台可以独立地控制可见频率范围内偏振的两个正交状态的相位和幅度。为了进行概念验证的实验演示,设计,制造和构造了由亚波长间隔的二氧化钛纳米柱组成的各种单层超表面,并展现出可偏振转换的多维光场操纵能力,包括偏振可转换的灰度纳米打印。 ,非均匀圆柱透镜和复振幅全息术。
