Abstract

Here, we propose a double-face copper-cladded meta-hologram that can efficiently manipulate the amplitude of electromagnetic waves in both transmission and reflection spaces, depending on the polarization state of the incident electromagnetic wave. The proposed meta-hologram is validated by encoding the transmission-reflection amplitude information of two independent images into a single metasurface. The holographic images obtained from measurements agree qualitatively with simulation results. The proposed metasurface presents a novel, to the best of our knowledge, scheme for electromagnetic wavefront control in the whole space and overcomes the limitations of narrow frequency band operation.
