ABSTRACT
Multi-functional metasurfaces have gained broad attention recently, as they bring great possibilities for high-dense multi-
functional meta-devices, such as projecting holograms and displaying continuous gray-scale images simultaneously.
However, currently reported metasurfaces to perform these operations separately. Furthermore, their complex multilayer
and super-cell design strategies complicate both design and fabrication processes. This applies a limit on miniaturized,
low-cost, integrated multi-functional meta-optics. Here we report a novel single-unit cell-based design strategy to
demonstrate a tri-functional metasurface. By merging the spin-decoupling strategy with Mull’s law amplitude
manipulation, a three-in-one metasurface is designed to project two independent holographic images in the far field and
one continuous gray-scale image in the near-field of the metasurface. Specifically, far-field holographic images are
projected on orthogonal helicities of white CP light, whereas a near-field image is decoded by creating an orthogonally
linearly polarized light path. Furthermore, we optimized a novel gallium phosphide (GaP) material to verify the proposed
design strategy for a tri-channel metasurface. The proposed metasurface has high transmission efficiency in the visible
regime and verified our design strategy without adding extra complexities to conventional nano-pillar geometry.
Therefore, our metasurface opens new avenues in multi-functional meta-device designing and has promising applications
in anti-counterfeiting, optical storage, image displays, etc.
Keywords: Tri-channel metasurfaces, Gallium Phosphide, nano-printing, meta-holography.
1. INTRODUCTION
The two-dimensional (2D) planner version of metamaterials, known as metasurfaces, has the exceptional ability to
manipulate the electromagnetic (EM) wave through intrinsic properties of amplitude, phase, and polarization [1-13]. The
subwavelength scale constituent elements offer unprecedented features of EM wave steering, leading to advanced
ventures in imagining technology to record high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) holographic objects and nano-
printing images with high efficiency [14-22]. In recent works, various techniques have been reported to independently
control the near-field and far-field wavefront shaping of incident EM wave [23-30]. The propagation distance defines
these fields, i.e., regions at the subwavelength scale are called near-field, and 3D object reconstruction in this field is
often referred to as Fresnel holography [31-37]. Whereas regions at propagation distance far beyond the operating
wavelength are designated far-field, holography in this region is known as Fourier-type holography [38-42]. In order to
control both fields simultaneously, the metasurface apportions into segments concerning multiple functionalities [43-48],
stacking multiple layers [49-52], or interleaving different kinds of nano-resonators [53-55] are employed. Although, all
aforementioned approaches greatly enhanced the work potential from single to manifolds through hybridizing several
unfunctional optical devices that can only modulate a single optical response. Resultantly, light operation for one
segment is as noise for other segments of the optical device, leading to efficiency degrading, consistent information
density, and inevitable crosstalk.
However, fine-tuning of complex transmission coefficients offers another unique platform for the realization of
simultaneous operation of Fourier and Fresnel holography by exploiting dual element-based super-cell coupled response
or wave-plates oriented phase delays [56, 57]. Bao et al. have achieved control of far- and near-field by employing the
engineering of complex amplitude coefficients based on the inter-element coupling of two nano-resonating antennas
[58].In such design strategies, the diffraction efficiency of the far-field Fourier image is degraded by the intensity map of
the gray-scale nano-printing image. Propagation and geometric phase mergence along with continuous amplitude
engineering are introduced to outplay the constraints of efficiency degradation. This proposed design strategy uses an

Figure 1. Conceptual illustration of proposed metasurface along with the material properties and unit element. (a) Under the
LCP and RCP incident light, the metasurface reconstructs the holographic images of “I” and “L” in far-field, while under
linear polarized incidence metasurface produces a holographic image of “T” in near-field analyzed through an orthogonal
polarizer. All the holograms are on-axis; for the sake of display ease, they are demonstrated off-axis. (b) Measured optical
constants (refractive index and extinction coefficient) of GaP. (c) Schematic depiction of the basic building block, i.e., a
nano-pillar constituent of GaP placed over a glass substrate. The optimized geometrical parameters are H=380nm,

where “θ” is in the plane orientation angle of the nano-pillar and “I0” is the intensity of incident light. Thus, continuous
amplitude variation is obtained when we change the “θ” from 00 to 450, as depicted in Figure 3b (blue curve). This
enables four possible orientations to generate a binary amplitude modulation scheme. Along with this extra degree of
freedom, the spin decoupling strategy can greatly enhance independent, distinct information encoding. The photonic spin
hall effect (PSHE) achieves independent control over orthogonal helicities. To do so, Equation 2 is utilized to embed two
distinct pieces of information for left circular polarized (LCP) and right circular polarized (RCP).

where ψL and ψR are the phase maps of two distinct information for LCP and RCP, respectively. Thus, the merged profile
obtained φm from Equation 2 can be decrypted to reconstruct the meta-hologram in far-field.
Figure 2. In-depth design principle demonstration of proposed tri-channel metasurface. Initially, phase maps of two selected
high-resolution holographic images, “I” and “L” for LCP and RCP, are numerically calculated using the GS algorithm. Then
these phase maps are merged through an SOI-based technique (defined by equation 2). Meanwhile, the intensity map of
near-field Fresnel hologram “T” is calculated, followed by the discretization of its orientations. Finally, the final phase is
imparted on the metasurface by carefully selecting the required orientation angles.

4. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we have introduced the simplest and novel design approach for tri-channel multiplexed metasurfaces
using a unique combination of Malus’s law amplitude manipulation and geometric phase manipulation. In contrast to
conventional layer stacking and super cell-based methods, the proposed design exploited a single element-based single-
layer all-dielectric metasurface to encrypt the three distinct information. Moreover, a highly indexed lossless material
GaP is utilized, and broadband highly efficient response is achieved. The proposed design approach allows a high degree
of freedom for independent control of individual channels for data encryption due to the unique mergence of the various
optical features tailoring. As a result, dual-channel far-field holography and single-channel near-field nano-printing on
