The vector light field carrying angular momentum finds wide applications in various fields, such as particle manipulation, optical communication and display, optical information encryption, and high-dimensional quantum information processing. However, the conventional approach to vector light field regulation typically involves a series of cascaded optical elements, such as spiral phase plates, polarizers, quarter wave plates, vortex wave plates, spatial light modulators, etc., resulting in a bulky device that does not meet the requirements for future photonic device integration. The rapid development of metasurfaces offers a transformative solution for realizing integrated meta-devices for vector light field control. In this paper, we summarize the research progress on metasurface-based control and detection of vector light fields. Then, we systematically summarize the current applications of metasurface-based vector light fields in particle manipulation, edge enhancement imaging, holographic display, machine vision, and so on. Finally, we have summarized and discussed the full text as well as the challenges and provided an outlook on this emerging field.
