Abstract

The outstanding ability of optical metasurfaces to tailor light's amplitude, phase, and polarization with a subwavelength resolution has attracted big interest. A multifunctional metasurface device is reported and experimentally demonstrated that integrates an arbitrary polarization profile for image concealment and a computer-generated hybrid hologram. Herein, a high-resolution image is hidden in the polarization profile of the light beam, while the holographic images are encoded in its phase profile for the reconstruction of two different types of holographic images. The designed polarization profile is realized based on the superposition of two different phase profiles for circular polarization states with opposite handedness. This method can further extend the design degree of freedom in optical metasurfaces, which may open an alternative avenue for anticounterfeiting, optical image encoding, and optical information security.
