This invention belongs to the field of micro-nano
photonics technology and discloses a metasurface and its design method, as well as a
holographic imaging method. The invention first constructs the basic structure of the metasurface, including a substrate layer, a
waveguide layer, and a structural layer. The substrate layer and
waveguide layer are divided into unit cells of
uniform size, and the structural layer includes several nanobricks, with one nanobrick disposed on the working surface of each unit
cell. Using the directions parallel to the two edges of the working surface of the unit
cell as the x-axis and y-axis, the displacement of each nanobrick within its unit
cell along the x-axis and y-axis is determined based on the
phase modulation values corresponding to multiple two-dimensional
diffraction orders. After incident light is incident on the metasurface provided by this invention, a camera captures multi-order holographic images; wherein, different holographic images are captured at different exit angles under different second-order
diffraction orders. This invention can broaden the encoding capacity and expand the
field of view under relaxed
processing conditions.
