Vectorial holography has gained a lot of attention due to the promise of versatile polarization control of structured light for enhanced optical security and multi-channel optical communication. Here, we propose a bifunctional metasurface which combines both structural color printing and vectorial holography with eight polarization channels towards advanced encryption applications. The structural colour prints are observed under white light while the polarization encoded holograms are reconstruc

Abstract Structured light (SL)-based depth-sensing technology illuminates the objects with an array of dots, and backscattered light is monitored to extract three-dimensional information. Conventionally, diffractive optical elements have been used to form laser dot array, however, the field-of-view (FOV) and diffraction efficiency are limited due to their micron-scale pixel size. Here, we propose a metasurface-enhanced SL-based depth-sensing platform that scatters high-density ~10 K dot array ov

Optical metasurfaces, composed of ultrathin subwavelength meta-atoms, have enabled flat-optics and corresponding flat optical components such as ultrathin lenses, color filters, and absorbers. Among the plethora of applications currently attracting great interest, next generation display techniques could further benefit from metasurface technology. Thanks to relatively simple mechanisms of amplitude and phase modulation of light by the meta-atoms, many of the recent research achievements in meta

Abstract A number of light‐absorbing devices based on plasmonic materials have been reported, and their device efficiencies (or absorption) are high enough to be used in real‐life applications. Many light‐absorbing applications such as thermophotovoltaics and energy‐harvesting and energy‐sensing devices usually require high‐temperature durability; unfortunately, noble metals used for plasmonics are vulnerable to heat. As an alternative, refractory plasmonics has been introduced using refractory

Abstract Metasurfaces consisting of sub‐wavelength structures have been researched as an alternative ultra‐thin platform for flat optical devices. One promising application is in multifunctional metaholograms for anticounterfeit purposes. By extending the operating wavelength band of conventional meta‐holographic optics, which typically operate only in the visible, it is possible to realize a security‐enhanced anticounterfeit technology. Here, a dual‐band reflective metahologram that operates si

Structural coloration techniques have improved display science due to their high durability in terms of resistance to bleaching and abrasion, and low energy consumption. Here, we propose and demonstrate an all-solid-state, large-area, lithography-free color filter that can switch structural color based on a doped semiconductor. Particularly, an indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) thin film is used as a passive index-changing layer. The refractive index of the IGZO layer is tuned by controlling the

The capillary force effect is one of the most important fabrication parameters that must be considered at the micro/nanoscale because it is strong enough to deform micro/nanostructures. However, the deformation of micro/nanostructures due to such capillary forces (e.g., stiction and collapse) has been regarded as an undesirable and uncontrollable obstacle to be avoided during fabrication. Here, we present a capillary-force-induced collapse lithography (CCL) technique, which exploits the capillar

Obtaining single-molecular-level fingerprints of biomolecules and electron-transfer dynamic imaging in living cells are critically demanded in postgenomic life sciences and medicine. However, the possible solution called plasmonic resonance energy transfer (PRET) spectroscopy remains challenging due to the fixed scattering spectrum of a plasmonic nanoparticle and limited multiplexing. Here, multiplexed metasurfaces-driven PRET hyperspectral imaging, to probe biological light-matter interactions,

The fundamental understanding of molecular quantum electrodynamics via the strong light-matter interactions between a nanophotonic cavity and quantum emitters opens various applications in quantum biology, biophysics, and chemistry. However, considerable obstacles to obtaining a clear understanding of coupling mechanisms via reliable experimental quantifications remain to be resolved before this field can truly blossom toward practical applications in quantitative life science and photochemistry
