Abstract:
Integrating multiple independent functions into a single optical component is one of the most important topics in research on photoelectric systems. In this paper, we propose a multifunctional all-dielectric metasurface that can achieve a variety of non-diffractive beams depending on the polarization state of the incident light. Using the anisotropic TiO2 rectangular column as the unit structure, the three functions of generating polygonal Bessel vortex beams under left-handed circularly polarized incidence, Airy vortex beams under right-handed circularly polarized incidence and polygonal Airy vortex-like beams under linearly polarized incidence are realized. In addition, the number of polygonal beam sides and the position of focal plane can be adjusted. The device could facilitate further developments in scaling complex integrated optical systems and fabricating efficient multifunctional components.
