摘要

Abstract

A versatile and tunable vectorial holography is demonstrated based on single-layer single-material liquid crystal superstructures. This novel approach advances the process from scalar to vectorial holography

opening new opportunities for advanced cryptography

super-resolution imaging

and many other tunable photonic applications.
