Propagation of Waves

Propagation of Waves

When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Interference and Superposition of Waves

Interference and Superposition of Waves

When two waves of the same nature occur in the same region simultaneously, they result in interference. Interference of waves implies that the net effect of the waves is the sum of the individual waves' effects. However, it does not imply that the individual waves affect the propagation of other waves.
Interference occurs in mechanical waves, such as sound waves, waves on a string, and surface water waves. Mechanical waves correspond to the physical displacement of particles. Hence,...

Background:

Metasurface holography enables nano/micro-scale wavefront manipulation.
Current methods face crosstalk limitations due to single-layer metasurfaces.
Independent control of multiplexed wavefront channels remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a universal wavefront multiplexing concept overcoming crosstalk limitations.
To enable independent design of different holographic channels without output constraints.
To demonstrate scalable wavefront manipulation devices.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel wavefront multiplexing concept based on non-injective transformation.
Employed joint optimization of two metasurfaces for independent channel design.
Designed and experimentally validated ultra-compact orbital angular momentum (OAM) sorters.

Main Results:

Achieved independent mapping of output beams to 2D positions with high fineness using OAM sorters.
Demonstrated 10-channel multiplexing with minimal crosstalk and no post-processing.
Validated the independence of channels enabled by non-injective transformation.

Conclusions:

The non-injective transformation method provides independent wavefront control in multiplexed holography.
This approach significantly reduces crosstalk, eliminating the need for post-filtering.
The technique offers precise wavefront control and high multiplexing capacity for scalable devices.
