摘要

Abstract

Combining bright-field and edge-enhanced imaging affords an effective avenue for extracting complex morphological information from objects

which is particularly beneficial for biological imaging. Multiplexing meta-lenses present promising candidates for achieving this functionality. However

current multiplexing meta-lenses lack spectral modulation

and crosstalk between different wavelengths hampers the imaging quality

especially for biological samples requiring precise wavelength specificity. Here

we experimentally demonstrate the nonlocal Huygens' meta-lens for high-quality-factor spin-multiplexing imaging. Quasi-bound states in the continuum (q-BICs) are excited to provide a high quality factor of 90 and incident-angle dependence. The generalized Kerker condition

driven by Fano-like interactions between q-BIC and in-plane Mie resonances

breaks the radiation symmetry

resulting in a transmission peak with a geometric phase for polarization-converted light

while unconverted light exhibits a transmission dip without a geometric phase. Enhanced polarization conversion efficiency of 65% is achieved

accompanied by a minimal unconverted value

surpassing the theoretical limit of traditional thin nonlocal metasurfaces. Leveraging these effects

the output polarization-converted state exhibits an efficient wavelength-selective focusing phase profile. The unconverted counterpart serves as an effective spatial frequency filter based on incident-angular dispersion

passing high-frequency edge details. Bright-field imaging and edge detection are thus presented under two output spin states. This work provides a versatile framework for nonlocal metasurfaces

boosting biomedical imaging and sensing applications.
