Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a metasurface hologram combining two distinct patterns.
  • Utilizing the polarization state (helicity) of incident light to control which pattern is displayed.
  • Experimental characterization of the hologram's performance across a broad frequency range.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of a helicity multiplexed metasurface hologram with high efficiency and good image fidelity.
  • Successful interchangeability of two off-axis images by controlling incident light helicity.
  • Robust performance observed over a wide range of frequencies.

Conclusions:

  • The developed helicity multiplexed metasurface hologram overcomes previous limitations in efficiency and image quality.
  • This high-performance device opens new possibilities for functionality-switchable optical devices.
  • The technology paves the way for advanced applications in optical information processing and display.
