Point-Source Geometric Metasurface Holography.

Geometric metasurfaces have shown great potential in holography due to their straightforward geometric nature of phase control. The incident angles, spins, and wavelengths of the light provide various degrees of freedom to multiplex metasurface holographic images, which, however, are usually interrelated and hence challenging to be fully decoupled. Here, we report a synergetic recipe to break such seemingly inevitable interrelation by incorporating an effective point source (a pinhole), with which the spin, wavelength, and coordinate of the point source can be fully decoupled in meta-holograms. We experimentally demonstrate spin-decoupled, full-colored metasurface holography and dynamic holography controlled with the position of the point source. The significance of this work is not merely to offer an alternative approach to break the interrelation limitations of the geometric metasurface, but more importantly, it provides a promising route for point sources in reality to realize advanced functionalities with meta-optics, such as single-photon holography, fluorescence holography, etc.
