Area of Science:

Optical Engineering
Metamaterials
Microscopy Imaging

Background:

Diffraction-limited focusing, edge-enhanced, and long depth of focus imaging are vital for biological microscopy and surface analysis.
Conventional microscopes require bulky components for switching imaging functions, leading to complexity and instability.
Integrating multiple microscopy functions into a single, stable system is a significant research challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a compact and flexible system for realizing diverse microscopy imaging functions.
To overcome the limitations of conventional optical systems in achieving multifunctional microscopy.
To present a novel approach for integrating multiple imaging capabilities using a single optical component.

Main Methods:

Design and implementation of a polarization-multiplexed tri-functional metasurface.
Demonstration of achieving different imaging modes by altering input and output light polarization states.
Integration of the metasurface into a microscopy system for functional imaging.

Main Results:

The metasurface successfully integrated three distinct imaging functions: diffraction-limited focusing, edge-enhanced imaging, and long depth of focus imaging.
Switching between imaging modes was achieved solely by manipulating light polarization, simplifying the system architecture.
The proposed system exhibits enhanced compactness and flexibility compared to traditional multifocal microscopy setups.

Conclusions:

A polarization-multiplexed tri-functional metasurface offers a powerful solution for multifunctional microscopy.
This approach significantly enhances system compactness and flexibility, addressing a critical need in optical imaging.
The developed metasurface provides a new pathway for advanced imaging applications in biomedicine and surface topography detection.
