Single-celled metasurface full-color holography by independent phase control at RGB wavelengths

Color holographic display is one of the most promising future display technologies. Introducing metasurfaces to holographic display brings more possibilities. Spatially multiplexing multicolor holography is a common way and it has lower resolution and irreducible noise. In order to realize full color metasurface holography, we elaborately design a metasurface in which each unit structure can independently manipulate the phase at three wavelengths of red, green and blue (RGB). The computer-generated holograms (CGH) of RGB components are obtained firstly, and the phase modulation of G-CGH is based on geometric phase, and the phase difference between R-G CGH and B-G CGH are based on the propagation phase, hence a full-color hologram can be reconstruct without relying on spatial multiplexing. Our work would have important implications for color holographic projection, near-eye displays, and multi-wavelength control.
