High-performance omnidirectional transmissive chromatic polarizers based on a one-dimensional dielectric-metal-dielectric subwavelength grating structure are proposed. The incident angle-insensitive properties, azimuthal angle-insensitive properties and polarization features are investigated thoroughly to realize the proposed omnidirectional transmissive chromatic polarizers. The color difference at different angles for the proposed yellow polarizers is less than 0.9746, and the extinction ratio at different angles for the proposed cyan polarizers exceeds 26. Analysis of the power density profiles for the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations show that surface plasmon resonance and high refractive index contrast properties lead to excellent polarization features and high angular tolerance.

Wide-field mid-infrared (MIR) hyperspectral imaging offers a promising approach for studying heterogeneous chemical systems due to its ability to independently characterize the molecular properties of different regions of a sample. However, applications of wide-field MIR microscopy are limited to spatial resolutions no better than ∼1 μm. While methods exist to overcome the classical diffraction limit of ∼λ/2, chromatic aberration from transmissive imaging reduces the achievable resolution.

Most existing multi-channel spectrometers are constructed by physically stacking single-channel spectrometers, resulting in their large size, high weight, and limited number of channels. Therefore, their miniaturization is urgently needed. In this paper, a microlens array grating is designed for miniature multi-channel spectrometers.

Photoacoustic microscopy is advancing with research on utilizing ultraviolet and visible light. Dual-wavelength approaches are sought for observing DNA/RNA- and vascular-related disorders. However, the availability of high numerical aperture lenses covering both ultraviolet and visible wavelengths is severely limited due to challenges such as chromatic aberration in the optics.

By adjusting the phase gradient and linear dispersion simultaneously, the function of achromatic aberration is realized, and the influence of chromatic aberration on the metasurface is reduced. We propose a metasurface stealth device with achromatic multilayer frame metasurfaces with beam deflection, steering, and collection functions so that the incident electromagnetic beam is transmitted around the stealth object without scattering.

Devices used for meta-optics display are currently undergoing a revolutionary transition from static to dynamic. Despite various tuning strategy demonstrations such as mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal tunings, a longstanding challenge for their practical application has been the achievement of a conveniently accessible real-life tuning scheme for realizing versatile functionality dynamics outside the laboratory. In this study, we demonstrate a practical tuning strategy to realize a dynamic color printing with a switchable meta-holography exhibition based on hydrogel-based nanocavities.
