We demonstrate a configuration to generate transmissive structural colors through triangular-lattice square nanohole arrays in aluminum (Al) film with Al nanodisks on the bottom of the nanoholes. By using a simple nanofabrication process, colors covering the entire visible light with different brightness and saturation are achieved by tuning both the period of arrays and the size of nanoholes. The optical behaviors of the structures are systematically investigated by both experimental and theoretical methods. The results indicate that the localized surface plasmon resonance of nanohole arrays plays the key role in the extraordinary transmission and meanwhile the coupling of disks and holes is also of importance for the enhanced transmission. With the wide color gamut, these kinds of vertically coupled Al nanohole/nanodisk arrays show the capabilities for high-resolution full-color printing. Compared to existing transmissive plasmonic color filters, the configuration in this work has the advantages of a simple fabrication process and using cheap aluminum materials.

Taking into account phase-polarization interactions is crucial for the formation of spatially structured laser beams. The effects that arise in this context can lead to the modulation of individual field components and the transformation of the overall light field. In this study, we investigate the impact of phase and polarization distributions with radial dependencies in polar coordinates on the longitudinal component of laser beams passing through a transmissive spatial light modulator (SLM) based on twisted nematic liquid crystals.

Using an inverse design method that combines optimization and exhaustive search algorithms, the material choices and layer thicknesses are determined through a loss function based on the CIE XYZ color space, optimizing both color purity and brightness. The resulting color gamut is comparable to standard RGB, as assessed in the CIE xy color space, with luminance (Y from CIE 1931 model) values for the fabricated transmissive RGB colors being 0.

Achieving independent multitasked wavefront control by using an ultrathin plate is a challenge to increase information capacity in integration optics and radar applications. Transmission-reflection-integrated metasurface provides an efficient recipe primarily for multifunctional meta-device, however it is challenging to synergize both linear polarization (LP) and circular polarization (CP) using a single meta-plate. Here, a multichannel full-space coding metasurface composed of interleaved shared-aperture meta-atom is proposed to achieve large information capacity by capsulating judiciously engineered high efficiency triple sub-elements (modes) in four-layer scheme.

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams have demonstrated significant potential in the fields of communication, imaging and quantum information science. In particular, active OAM metasurfaces enable flexible and on-demand control of OAM beams without altering their structures, significantly enriching the applications of OAM beams. However, due to the limitations of electrode wiring and unit structure efficiency, most existing active metasurface designs are reflective, hindering the further development of this field.
