Summary: The development of modern digital displays and colour printing has driven the rapid advancement of colouration technologies. Metasurface-based structural colouration shows high colour saturation, wide gamut palette, chiaroscuro presentation and polarization tunability. However, previous approaches cannot simultaneously achieve all these features. In this study, we demonstrate a surface-relief plasmonic metasurface that allows independent control of colour hue, saturation and brightness through variations in the geometric dimensions and orientation of shallow nanoapertures. Microscale artworks with photorealistic and stereoscopic impressions are fabricated using a reusable template-stripping technique. Furthermore, different combinations of incident and reflected polarized light can decode kaleidoscopic information states.

Summary: As an important imaging technique, holography has been realized with different physical dimensions of light, including polarization, wavelength, and time. Recently, quantum holography has been demonstrated with polarization entangled state, showing advantages of high robustness and enhanced spatial resolution. However, the capacity of quantum holography is limited due to the two-dimensional degree of freedom of polarization. In this study, we propose a method to achieve high-dimensional quantum holography using high-dimensional orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement. Proof-of-principle experiments with four- and six-dimensional OAM entangled states validate the feasibility of our idea and demonstrate high robustness to classical noise. Furthermore,a high-dimensional quantum holography can greatly improve the security level of holographic imaging encryption system.

Summary: By introducing engineered noise to the precise solution of Jones matrix elements, we have surpassed the fundamental limit of polarization multiplexing capacity of metasurfaces. Through experiments, we have achieved up to 11 independent holographic images using a single metasurface illuminated by visible light with different polarizations, which is the highest reported capacity for polarization multiplexing. With the combination of position multiplexing, the metasurface is capable of generating 36 distinct images, forming a holographic keyboard pattern. This discovery opens up new possibilities for high-capacity optical display, information encryption, and data storage.

Summary: In recent years, optical metasurfaces have emerged as a new research area with unprecedented capabilities of manipulating light with subwavelength spatial resolutions and revolutionizing conventional bulky optics with compact planar elements. The focus has been on polarization-encoded functional optical metasurfaces, which offer compactness, integration compatibility, and multiple functionalities, covering different polarization states conversion and detection, as well as major achievements in polarization-multiplexing metasurface components.

Summary: The research proposes an optical encryption scheme by introducing metasurface-images (meta-images) into the encoding and decoding processes of SPI encryption as the keys. This approach eliminates the conventional digital transmission process of keys in SPI encryption, enabling the reusability of a single metasurface in different encryption processes. It paves the way toward high-security optical encryption between direct and indirect imaging methods.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Fano resonances can be selectively excited in the space-frequency domain, revealing a broader dichroic phenomenon with spin, spatial, and spectral selectivity. The concept is showcased using nonlocal metasurfaces deeply rooted in the symmetry features of quasi-bound states in the continuum.

Summary: Computer-generated holography can achieve arbitrary intensity distributions in space with the wavefront obtained. However, speckle noises continue to be a challenge. A new algorithm for hologram generation and a unique multiplexing scheme using a Fourier lens have been proposed in this work. This technology shows potential for doubling the capacity of current holographic systems and offers various interesting display applications.
