Article Abstract
Optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) has been recently implemented in holography technologies as an independent degree of freedom for boosting information capacity. However, the holography capacity and fidelity suffer from the limited space-bandwidth product (SBP) and the channel crosstalk, albeit the OAM mode set exploited as multiplexing channels is theoretically unbounded. Here, we propose the ultra-dense perfect OAM holography, in which the OAM modes are discriminated both radially and angularly. As such, the perfect OAM mode set constructs the two-dimensional spatial division multiplexed holography (conventional OAM holography is 1D). The extending degree of freedom enhances the holography capacity and fidelity. We have demonstrated an ultra-fine fractional OAM holography with the topological charge resolution of 0.01. A 20-digit OAM-encoded holography encryption has also been exhibited. It harnesses only five angular OAM topological charges ranging from -16 to +16. The SBP efficiency is about 20 times larger than the conventional phase-only OAM holography. This work paves the way to compact, high-security and high-capacity holography.

Vortex beams, characterized by orbital angular momentum (OAM), hold significant potential in optical communications, quantum information processing, and optical manipulation. However, existing metasurface designs are largely confined to single-degree-of-freedom control, such as static OAM generation or fixed focal points, which limiting their ability to integrate polarization multiplexing with dynamic focal tuning. To address this challenge, we propose a tunable multifunctional cascaded metasurface that synergizes polarization-sensitive phase engineering with interlayer rotational coupling, overcoming conventional device limitations.

However, conventional holograms suffer from rapid image diffraction outside the target plane, resulting in low fidelity and detection challenges. Existing methods for generating diffraction-free beams are typically complex, inefficient, and lack Fourier transform capabilities.

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) holography represents a transformative technique for enhancing the information channel capacity of holographic systems through the convolution of theoretical infinite OAM states with discrete sampling target images. However, the inherent axial chromatic aberration (ACA) in Fourier lens functions leads to the misalignment of Fourier planes for OAM-dependent holograms across different wavelengths, thereby limiting 3D multicolor OAM holography. To address this challenge, a novel approach achieving achromatic 3D multi-color OAM holography using a spatial multiplexing scheme is presented.

Orbital angular momentum (OAM), with its unique orthogonality, is widely applied in optical holographic encryption and information storage. Theoretically, the topological charge of OAM holography is infinite. However, in practice, it is restricted by the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem and experimental equipment, resulting in a relatively small number of practically usable channels.
