ABSTRACT
Due to the physically unrestricted set of orthogonally helical modes of orbital angular momentum (OAM), it has contributed significantly to wireless communication and information capacity. Meanwhile, focusing has important applications in fields such as super-resolution microscopic imaging and optical integration. Plasmonic metasurfaces have a powerful ability to modulate electromagnetic (EM) waves, and diversified functionalities in them are strongly desired. As of today, few plasmonic metasurfaces are reported which have multi-function in a single flat device. Herein, by fine-tuning the geometric dimensions and orientation angle of the meta-atom, the geometric phase is combined with the propagation phase to produce an independent phase response when left-handed circular polarization (LCP) and right-handed circular polarization (RCP) waves illuminate the metasurface. This paper presents three plasmonic metasurfaces, and each of them implements multiple functions on a single plasmonic metasurface. Firstly, normal reflection of OAM and a focused beam is achieved. Secondly, we realize anomalous reflection of OAM by convolving a gradient sequence and implement computational focusing at any point. Finally, addition theorem is adopted to implement the above two functions, and this design contains normal and inclined output beams. Our work provides novel approaches for the integration of multifunctional EM modulation.
