摘要

Abstract

Nanophotonic platforms such as metasurfaces

achieving arbitrary phase profiles within ultrathin thickness

emerge as miniaturized

ultracompact and kaleidoscopic optical vortex generators. However

it is often required to segment or interleave independent sub-array metasurfaces to multiplex optical vortices in a single nano-device

which in turn affects the device's compactness and channel capacity. Here

inspired by phyllotaxis patterns in pine cones and sunflowers

we theoretically prove and experimentally report that multiple optical vortices can be produced in a single compact phyllotaxis nanosieve

both in free space and on a chip

where one meta-atom may contribute to many vortices simultaneously. The time-resolved dynamics of on-chip interference wavefronts between multiple plasmonic vortices was revealed by ultrafast time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy. Our nature-inspired optical vortex generator would facilitate various vortex-related optical applications

including structured wavefront shaping

free-space and plasmonic vortices

and high-capacity information metaphotonics.
