Abstract
An interleaved coding Janus metasurface is proposed, which can generate bidirectional functionalities with full phase control of the reflected and transmitted waves. By introducing rotation and geometric parameter changes into the meta-atoms, the reflection and transmission channels with required energy distribution and foci are realized. More remarkably, our approach is based on a single metasurface design that arranges two types of unidirectional propagating unit structures with simultaneous desired reflection and transmission properties into a checkerboard configuration to obtain four different holograms. The results verify the excellent performances of the multifunctional metasurface, laying a foundation for manipulation of EM waves with more degree of freedom, and promoting its applications in the entire frequency spectrum.
