Summary: This research explores a new method of orthogonal rotation multiplexing by combining spatial frequency orthogonality with the subwavelength detour phase principle, proposing a method for multiplexing on metasurfaces. The feasibility of multiplexed holograms is experimentally demonstrated, and this newly-explored orthogonality is compatible with conventional degrees of freedom, providing a new solution for the development of metasurfaces and nanophotonics.

Summary: This work presents a cost-effective and lithography-free method for printing optical metasurfaces. By utilizing resonant absorption of laser light in an optical cavity formed by a multilayer structure, nearly perfect light absorption is achieved through interferometric control. This approach demonstrates reliability, upscaling, and subwavelength resolution in creating metasurfaces for structural colors, optical holograms, and diffractive optical elements.

Summary: The study introduces dynamic bifunctional metasurfaces that combine multiple metaholograms at different wavelengths with structural colors by controlling their spectral and phase responses. The ability to switch light diffraction on and off at specific wavelengths through destructive interference and resonance on external environment allows for selectively turning encoded metaholograms on and off, making holographic images dynamically switchable. This concept is a solid step towards practical applications of all-dielectric metasurfaces.

Summary: Most commercial near-eye 3D displays currently use traditional stereoscopic approach, which leads to visual confusion and fatigue due to the conflict between vergence and accommodation. To tackle this issue, a proof-of-concept solution based on retinal projection technology has been developed, using a small aperture Huygens' metasurface hologram to generate accommodation-free virtual images. This work demonstrates a compact and wearable near-eye display, weighing approximately 50g, that creates clear accommodation-free images ranging from 0.5 to 2m, overlaid with the real world and viewable directly with the naked eye. The design method introduced for these displays solves the vergence-accommodation conflict using a small aperture Huygens' metasurface hologram.

Summary: Metasurface-generated holography is a promising method for reproducing vivid scenes by manipulating light's optical properties using compact devices. However, achieving multiple holographic images with a single metasurface is difficult due to capacity limitations. This study presents an inverse design method using gradient-descent optimization to encode multiple holographic information into a single metasurface. By exploiting this method, multiplane RGB color holograms and 3D holograms are designed and experimentally demonstrated. The research findings demonstrate the high-density holography achievable with a single metasurface, providing a route for practical metasurface-generated holography.

Summary: This paper demonstrates tracking the spinning and orbital motion of optically trapped objects using the diagonal ratio of the quadrant photodiode, which provides enhanced sensitivity compared to conventional transverse ratio measurements and reveals additional information about particle dynamics. This method allows for noise reduction and increased sensitivity of rotating nanospheres, leading to potential applications in controlling the orientational dynamics of trapped nanoparticles, such as nanoscale mechanical motors.
