Abstract:
The operation of near-field and far-field can be employed to display holographic and nanoprinting images, which significantly improves the information density. Previous studies have proposed some approaches to display the images independently or simultaneously, but cannot satisfy these two characteristics in a single structure under the same incident light. Here, a single layer multifunctional metasurface is proposed to display a nanoprinting image and a holographic image independently and simultaneously. By tailoring the dimensions of each nanobricks and adopting different orientation angle, the amplitude and phase can be artificially designed. Moreover, enabled by the simulated annealing algorithm, we take the impact of both amplitude and phase of each nanobrick into consideration, which eliminates the unnecessary influence of amplitude on holographic image. Compared with previous work, our metasurfaces markedly improve the quality of holographic image with simple structures while not affecting the nanoprinting image. To be exact, it breaks the coupling between the near-field and far-field, achieving independent and simultaneous control of both fields. Our proposed metasurfaces carry characteristics of simple manufacture, little crosstalk, and great compactness, which provides novel applications for image displays, optical storage and information technology.
