    Figures & Tables(5)
    Schematic for the proposed all-optical CNOT LG. (a–d) Far-field responses under different incident conditions that correspond to (a) no focus, (b) two foci, (c) one focus with small focal distance and (d) one focus with large focal distance. The corresponding truth-table is shown in the inset with spin state as CS and incident direction as TS, which is perfectly matched with that in Eq. (2).
    Unit cells for the CNOT LG metasurface doublet. (a,e) Schematic for HHWP and LHWP unit cells, respectively.P=4.5 μm, h=6 μm, l1=3.7 μm, w1=1.2 μm, l2=2.9 μm and w2=2.05 μm. (b, f) Corresponding polarization conversion ratio (left panel) and phase delay (right panel) with different φ for cross-polarized waves at 28.3 THz under LCP incidence. (c, g) Corresponding transmittance at φ=0 (solid lines) andφ=π/4 (dashed lines) from 27–29 THz. (d, h) Corresponding magnetic field distributions at –28.3 THz.
    Numerical far-field results in x-z plane under different incident conditions. (a) Front RCP incidence. (b) Front LCP incidence. (c) Back RCP incidence. (d) Back LCP incidence. The insets show the 2D normalized intensity distributions at z=18 mm (white dashed lines) and 27 mm (blue dashed lines). When a focal spot can be observed at certain focal plane, the corresponding truth table is “1”, otherwise the truth table is “0”.
    Experiment for the asymmetric transmission metasurface doublet. (a) SEM images for the front (left) and back (right) side of the metasurface. (b) Schematic illustration of the measurement setup. LP: linear polarizer. λ/4: quarter wave plate. BE: beam expander. SA: sample. (c–f) Intensity distributions at z=18 mm and 27 mm. (c) Front RCP incidence. (d) Front LCP incidence. (e) Back RCP incidence. (f) Back LCP incidence.
    Demonstration of the directional Janus metasurface for orthogonal polarizations. (a) Schematic flow chart of the design process. FFT: fast Fourier transformation. IFFT: inverse fast Fourier transformation. (b–e) Calculated and measured far-field images at the same image plane under different incident conditions. (b) Front RCP incidence. (c) Front LCP incidence. (d) Back RCP incidence. (e) Back LCP incidence.
