Cover Story: Cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) have promising applications in various optical fields such as optical communication and optical tweezers due to their unique polarization distributions. To generate arbitrary CVBs in a simple, efficient and compact manner, a monolayer metasurface structure composed of two types of chiral unit-cells is proposed. By combining geometric-phase and detour-phase principles, the metasurface can achieve independent holographic-phase modulations on left- and right-handed circularly polarized components of incident light, enabling the generation of arbitrary CVBs and even more complex vector beams such as optical Stokes skyrmions. This work offers a new way for the design of miniaturized and multifunctional optical polarization devices. View this paper
