Abstract
Metasurfaces, as the ultrathin version of metamaterials, have caught growing attention due to their superior capability in controlling the phase, amplitude and polarization states of light. Among various types of metasurfaces, geometric metasurface that encodes a geometric or Pancharatnam–Berry phase into the orientation angle of the constituent meta-atoms has shown great potential in controlling light in both linear and nonlinear optical regimes. The robust and dispersionless nature of the geometric phase simplifies the wave manipulation tremendously. Benefitting from the continuous phase control, metasurface holography has exhibited advantages over conventional depth controlled holography with discretized phase levels. Here we report on spin and wavelength multiplexed nonlinear metasurface holography, which allows construction of multiple target holographic images carried independently by the fundamental and harmonic generation waves of different spins. The nonlinear holograms provide independent, nondispersive and crosstalk-free post-selective channels for holographic multiplexing and multidimensional optical data storages, anti-counterfeiting, and optical encryption.

For the so-called geometric metasurfaces, local geometric phase shifts based on a polarization conversion can be introduced by a simple rotation of the constituent meta-atoms[16]
The metasurface hologram is realized by using a Pancharatnam–Berry phase change[41,42], which operates in the linear and nonlinear optical regimes simultaneously[26]
Summary
Metasurfaces, as the ultrathin version of metamaterials, have caught growing attention due to their superior capability in controlling the phase, amplitude and polarization states of light. To demonstrate the potential of nonlinear phase generation by metasurfaces, we select split ring resonators (SRRs) as meta-atoms due to their strong polarization properties in the linear regime as well as the high second-harmonic generation efficiency[25,41,42,43,44].
