Background:

Diffractive neural networks (DNNs) offer energy-efficient optical AI but are limited to single-label recognition.
Complex visual perception tasks require systems capable of multi-label recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and validate a metasurface-based wavelength-multiplexed diffractive neural network (WMDNN).
To enable simultaneous object category and color recognition in a single optical forward pass.

Main Methods:

Implementation using cascaded titanium dioxide (TiO2) metasurfaces based on the Pancharatnam-Berry phase principle.
Spatially interleaving TiO2 nanoblocks with distinct geometries for independent phase modulation across RGB wavelengths.
Validation on a joint category-color Fashion-MNIST dataset.

Main Results:

Achieved numerical accuracy of 91.7% and experimental accuracy of 85.8% for joint category-color recognition.
Demonstrated simultaneous identification of object category and color in a single pass.

Conclusions:

The proposed WMDNN architecture overcomes limitations of traditional DNNs for complex visual tasks.
This work enables high-dimensional intelligent perception systems through wavelength multiplexing.
