Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metasurfaces are currently one of the most important topics in the field of nanomaterials due to their ability to generate interesting phenomena, such as focusing lenses, beam deflectors, holograms, and perfect conversion between propagating waves and surface waves. Depending on the unique control property of light, new intelligent metadevices based on metasurfaces with high efficiency, multifunctionality, and tunability can be realized. Furthermore, intelligent metasurfaces have found wide applications in optical calculation, plasmonic networks, and nanoimaging.

This Special Issue focuses on the latest theoretical developments and practical applications of intelligent metasurfaces for the realization of high efficiency, multifunctionality, and tunability. We invite both academic and industrial researchers to submit state-of-the-art works on new principles and future applications of intelligent metasurfaces.

Metasurface holography offers significant advantages, including a broad field of view, minimal noise, and high imaging quality, making it valuable across various optical domains such as 3D displays, VR, and color displays. However, most passive pure-structured metasurface holographic devices face a limitation: once fabricated, as their functionality remains fixed. In recent developments, the introduction of multiplexed and reconfigurable metasurfaces breaks this limitation. Here, the comprehensive progress in holography from single metasurfaces to multiplexed and reconfigurable metasurfaces is reviewed. First, single metasurface holography is briefly introduced. Second, the latest progress in angular momentum multiplexed metasurface holography, including basic characteristics, design strategies, and diverse applications, is discussed. Next, a detailed overview of wavelength-sensitive, angle-sensitive, and polarization-controlled holograms is considered. The recent progress in reconfigurable metasurface holography based on lumped elements is highlighted. Its instant on-site programmability combined with machine learning provides the possibility of realizing movie-like dynamic holographic displays. Finally, we briefly summarize this rapidly growing area of research, proposing future directions and potential applications. Full article
