Metagratings have been shown to form an agile and efficient platform for extreme wavefront manipulation, going beyond the limitations of gradient metasurfaces. Here, we present all-dielectric transmissive metagratings with high diffraction efficiencies using simple rectangular inclusions with neither high index nor high aspect ratio requirement. We further experimentally demonstrate continuous phase encoding of a hologram based on such transmissive metagratings through displacement modulation of CMOS-compatible silicon nitride nanobars in the full visible range, manifesting broadband and wide-angle high diffraction efficiencies for both polarizations. Featured with extreme angle/wavelength/polarization tolerance and alleviated structural complexity for both design and fabrication, our demonstration unlocks the full potential of metagrating-based wavefront manipulation for a variety of practical applications.
超光栅已被证明能形成一个灵活高效的平台,用于极端波前操纵,突破了梯度超表面的限制。在此,我们展示了一种全介质透射超光栅,它使用简单的矩形内含物,既不需要高折射率也不需要高纵横比,却具有高衍射效率。我们进一步通过在整个可见光范围内对与CMOS兼容的氮化硅纳米棒进行位移调制,基于这种透射超光栅对全息图进行连续相位编码的实验演示,证明了两种偏振态均具有宽带和广角高衍射效率。我们的演示具有极端的角度/波长/偏振容差,且在设计和制造方面都降低了结构复杂性,为各种实际应用释放了基于超光栅的波前操纵的全部潜力。
