Full‐Color Complex‐Amplitude Vectorial Holograms Based on Multi‐Freedom Metasurfaces

Phase, polarization, amplitude, and frequency represent the basic dimensions of light, playing crucial roles for both fundamental light–material interactions and all major optical applications. Metasurfaces have emerged as a compact platform to manipulate these knobs, but previous metasurfaces have limited flexibility to simultaneous control them. A multi‐freedom metasurface that can simultaneously and independently modulate phase, polarization, and amplitude in an analytical form is introduced, and frequency multiplexing is further realized by a k‐space engineering technique. The multi‐freedom metasurface seamlessly combines geometric Pancharatnam–Berry phase and detour phase, both of which are frequency independent. As a result, it allows complex‐amplitude vectorial hologram at various frequencies based on the same design strategy, without sophisticated nanostructure searching of massive geometric parameters. Based on this principle, full‐color complex‐amplitude vectorial meta‐holograms in the visible are experimentally demonstrated with a metal–insulator–metal architecture, unlocking the long‐sought full potential of advanced light field manipulation through ultrathin metasurfaces. A multi‐freedom metasurface is proposed to manipulate multiple dimensions of light simultaneously. A general metasurface design strategy seamlessly combining the geometric phase and detour phase in the first diffraction order is developed, which can modulate phase, amplitude, and polarization in an analytical and wavelength/angle‐independent formation. Frequency multiplexing is further applied by k‐space engineering, ultimately achieving full‐color complex‐amplitude vectorial holography.
