Abstract

The invention discloses a pure-phase spatial light modulator based on a metasurface. The pure-phase spatial light modulator comprises a lower substrate and an upper substrate, and the portion betweenthe upper substrate and the lower substrate is filled with a birefringent material with a dynamic phase modulation function; the lower substrate comprises a substrate with pixel point voltage modulation capability and a nano-structure array distributed on the substrate; the sizes and shapes of nanostructures in the nano-structure array are different, spatial distribution is uneven, the phase modulation amount generated by the nano-structure array can be changed by changing the geometric structure sizes of the nanostructures at different positions, and the static phase modulation function is achieved; phase modulation results of the birefringent material and the nanostructures are independent of each other; and an orientation layer is prepared in the surface, facing the birefringent material, of the upper substrate. The pure-phase spatial light modulator based on the metasurface effectively integrates a pixelated liquid crystal dynamic phase modulation function and a static phase modulation function of a nano-structure array metasurface.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metasurface-based pure phase spatial light modulator, which belongs to the field of optoelectronic devices. Background technique [0002] Spatial light modulator (spatial light modulator, SLM) is a device used for light field regulation. It is based on Fourier optics and can perform photoelectric reproduction of the target light field by loading a computational hologram. Under the control of the input signal, the spatial light modulator can modulate the amplitude, phase and polarization of the incident light in real time. [0003] Phase-only spatial light modulators are able to adjust the phase delay of the light field reflected from each pixel without changing the light field intensity, which is usually achieved by changing the thickness or refractive index of the device. Due to the special photoelectric effect of liquid crystals, a liquid crystal spatial light modulator has been developed, which can change the orientation ...
