Time-sequential color code division multiplexing holographic display with metasurface

Color metasurface holograms are powerful and versatile platforms for modulating the amplitude, phase, polarization, and other properties of light at multiple operating wavelengths. However, the current color metasurface holography can only realize static manipulation. In this study, we propose and demonstrate a multiplexing metasurface technique combined with multiwavelength code-division multiplexing (CDM) to realize dynamic manipulation. Multicolor code references are utilized to record information within a single metasurface and increase the information capacity and security for anti -cracks. A total of 48 monochrome images consisting of pure color characters and multilevel color video frames were re-constructed in dual polarization channels of the birefringent metasurface to exhibit high information density, and a video was displayed via sequential illumination of the corresponding code patterns to verify the ability of dynamic manipulation. Our approach demonstrates significant application potential in optical data storage, optical encryption, multiwavelength-versatile diffractive optical elements, and stimulated emission depletion microscopy.
