Polarization-Encrypted Orbital Angular Momentum Multiplexed Metasurface Holography
Open accessAbstract
Metasurface holography has the advantage of realizing complex wavefront modulation by thin layers together with the progressive technique of computer-generated holographic imaging. Despite the well-known light parameters, such as amplitude, phase, polarization, and frequency, the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of a beam can be regarded as another degree of freedom. Here, we propose and demonstrate orbital angular momentum multiplexing at different polarization channels using a birefringent metasurface for holographic encryption. The OAM selective holographic information can only be reconstructed with the exact topological charge and a specific polarization state. By using an incident beam with different topological charges as erasers, we mimic a super-resolution case for the reconstructed image, in analogy to the well-known STED technique in microscopy. The combination of multiple polarization channels together with the orbital angular momentum selectivity provides a higher security level for holographic encryption. Such a technique can be applied for beam shaping, optical camouflage, data storage, and dynamic displays.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
The paper demonstrates an all-dielectric birefringent metasurface that combines orbital angular momentum (OAM) selectivity with polarization multiplexing for holographic encryption. Holograms are reconstructed only when the illumination carries the matching topological charge and polarization, and OAM beams can also act as erasers to reveal finer image details in a STED-like manner.
Key findings
- OAM-selective holograms were reconstructed only with the correct topological charge and polarization: “NATURE” appeared in the Txx channel for l = 40 with x-polarized illumination, and “SCIENCE” appeared in the Tyy channel for l = 20 with y-polarized illumination.
- The reconstructed “NATURE” and “SCIENCE” images had peak signal-to-noise ratios of 29.11 dB and 29.83 dB, respectively.
- In cross-polarization channels, a vortex array served as an OAM indicator, following l = m × lx + b, with lx set to 20 and five diffraction orders optimized while unwanted orders were suppressed.
- A STED-like camouflage demonstration used l = 40 vortex illumination to reveal extra details, such as textures on grapes and a serrated edge on a leaf, compared with Gaussian-beam illumination.
Methods
- The metasurface used silicon nanofins on a SiO2 substrate, with height and period fixed at 600 nm and 400 nm, respectively; length and width were swept from 80 to 280 nm for operation at 800 nm.
- Design and optimization used rigorous coupled-wave analysis, and the Jones matrix was engineered to multiplex independent phase profiles across polarization channels with OAM-dependent phase terms.
- Fabrication involved plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of a 600 nm amorphous silicon film, electron beam lithography, chromium evaporation, lift-off, and inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching.
Limitations
- The paper states that a ring-like residual zero-order spot appeared experimentally because of the discrete metasurface and fabrication deviations from the theoretical design.
- The paper states that vortex-beam illumination produced lower contrast than plane-wave illumination because the ring-shaped intensity profile reduced efficiency.
- The paper states that zero-order spots remained in the holographic images due to fabrication inaccuracies and the discrete nature of the metasurface; it does not provide a systematic quantification of crosstalk or security across all possible OAM and polarization combinations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
