Vectorial liquid-crystal holography

Ze-Yu Wang,
Zhou Zhou,
Han Zhang
et al.

Abstract: Vectorial optics with fine inhomogeneous polarization control are highly desired. Metasurfaces have been captivated a promising candidate, but their static post-fabrication geometry largely limits the dynamic tunability. Liquid crystal (LC) is usually employed as an additional index-changing layer together with metasurfaces. Unfortunately, most of the reported LCs only impart a varying but uniform phase on top of that from the metasurface, which we term “scalar” LC optics. Here, we pixelate a single-layer LC t… Show more

“…(3) Presently, OAM holographic images are pre-set and cannot achieve real-time arbitrary control. Therefore, the utilization of phase change materials 100,101 or liquid crystals 102 for engineering a metasurface could facilitate real-time phase modulation, paving the way for achieving dynamic OAM holography, an exciting prospect for future advancements.…”
