Title: Angle-Multiplexed Metasurfaces: Encoding Independent Wavefronts in a Single Metasurface under Different Illumination Angles

Abstract

The angular response of thin diffractive optical elements is highly correlated. For example, the angles of incidence and diffraction of a grating are locked through the grating momentum determined by the grating period. Other diffractive devices, including conventional metasurfaces, have a similar angular behavior due to the fixed locations of the Fresnel zone boundaries and the weak angular sensitivity of the meta-atoms. To alter this fundamental property, we introduce angle-multiplexed metasurfaces, composed of reflective high-contrast dielectric U-shaped meta-atoms, whose response under illumination from different angles can be controlled independently. Furthermore this enables flat optical devices that impose different and independent optical transformations when illuminated from different directions, a capability not previously available in diffractive optics.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Angle-multiplexed metasurface concept. (a) Schematic illustration of diffraction of light by a grating. A grating adds a fixed linear momentum (ℏkg) to the incident light, independent of the illumination angle. If the illumination angle deviates from the designated incident angle, light is deflected to a different angle, whichmore » is dictated by the grating period. (b) Illustration of the anglemultiplexed metasurface platform. This platform provides different responses according to the illumination angle. For instance, two gratings with different deflection angles (different grating momenta) can be multiplexed such that different illumination angles acquire different momenta. (c) Illustration of a typical hologram that creates one specific image (Caltech logo) under one illumination angle (left). The same hologram will be translated laterally (and distorted) by tilting the illumination angle (right). (d) Schematic illustration of an angle-multiplexed hologram. Different images are created under different illumination angles. For ease of illustration, the devices are shown in transmission, while the actual fabricated devices are designed to operate in reflection mode.« less
