Generation of vectorial generalized vortex array with metasurfaces

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The ability to create complex three-dimensional structures of light is extremely challenging. Now, a technique combining Dammann optimization with metasurfaces has been developed, enabling control over all parameters, including polarization, phase, angular momentum, and spatial modes. The generation of three-dimensional generalized vortex beams can open new horizons for their applications in photonics.
