Abstract
In recent years, beam manipulation using metasurfaces has evolved from being limited to either a transmission or reflection space to encompassing a full space. However, existing methods still inevitably require complex systems and are unable to achieve continuous and arbitrary phase manipulation. Here, one type of a bilayer metasurface is proposed to simultaneously manipulate reflection and transmission phases continuously and independently, which also makes the optical system more compact without requiring any analyzers and enhances the degree of freedom for full-space beam manipulation. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, one device is designed to show different holograms in transmission and reflection spaces. Additionally, the Dammann grating designed in the reflection hologram increases the information capacity. The proposed method may pave the way toward achieving a variety of applications such as multi-channel beam manipulation and multifunctional optical devices.
