Abstract: Light-emitting metasurfaces provide a compact, integrated solution for simultaneous light generation and beam shaping, making them a promising candidate for advanced photonic applications. However, existing approaches for tailoring far-field emission patterns primarily operate in the spontaneous emission regime, where low coherence limits precise light control. Here, we present a light-emitting metasurface system with holographic lasing output, composed of a binary-structured metasurface integrated with a gain medium, that enables coherent light generation and precise beam shaping of the output lasing emission. With a compact footprint, low lasing threshold, and wide field of view, our system offers an exceptional platform for generating arbitrarily-structured lasing light, with significant potential for miniaturized optical systems.
