Abstract

Flat optical elements have attracted enormous attentions and act as promising candidates for the next generation of optical components. As one of the most outstanding representatives, liquid crystal (LC) has been widely applied in flat panel display industries and inspires the wavefront modulation with the development of LC alignment techniques. However, most LC elements perform only one type of optical manipulation and are difficult to realize the multifunctionality and light integration.

Here, flat multifunctional liquid crystal elements (FMLCEs), merely composed of anisotropic LC molecules with space-variant orientations, are presented for multichannel information manipulation by means of polarization, space and wavelength multiplexing. Specifically, benefiting from the unique light response with the change of the incident polarization, observation plane, and working wavelength, a series of FMLCEs are demonstrated to achieve distinct near- and far-field display functions.

The proposed strategy takes full advantage of basic optical parameters as the decrypted keys to improve the information capacity and security, and we expect it to find potential applications in information encryption, optical anti-counterfeiting, virtual/augmented reality, etc.
