Abstract
Holograms are a promising state-of-the-art technique that are able to reproduce fully three-dimensional images. However, most elementary holograms only recover a nonadjustable image restricted by a certain amplitude and phase. Recently, the concept of the reconfigurable metasurface has come into sight. The reconfigurable metasurfaces can be tuned dynamically through a physics control signal from outside. Here we design and realize a series of novel, to the best of our knowledge, reconfigurable metasurfaces. Using these devices, an advanced metasurface hologram effect could be easier to achieve. Moreover, the reconfigurable property of such tunable metasurface enables independent control of advanced multiplexed channel functionalities to exist in comparison with the conventional static metasurface holograms. Our method creates unprecedented display and virtual effects, and it opens a novel way to a more flexible methodology of dynamic control of electromagnetic waves.
