摘要

Abstract

Vectorial optics with fine inhomogeneous polarization control are highly desired. Metasurfaces have been captivated a promising candidate

but their static post-fabrication geometry largely limits the dynamic tunability. Liquid crystal (LC) is usually employed as an additional index-changing layer together with metasurfaces. Unfortunately

most of the reported LCs only impart a varying but uniform phase on top of that from the metasurface

which we term “scalar” LC optics. Here

we pixelate a single-layer LC to display versatile and tunable vectorial holography

in which the polarization and amplitude could be arbitrarily and independently controlled at varying spatial positions. Furthermore

the subtle and vectorial LC-holography highlights the broadband and electrically-switchable functionalities. Our vectorial LC holography reveals significant opportunities for advanced cryptography

super-resolution imaging

and many other applications.
