With the development of nanofabrication technology, meta-holography has shown unprecedented potential for light regulation. However, due to the wavelength mismatch, chromatic aberrations are inevitable in multi-wavelength meta-holography. Moreover, since the meta-hologram is difficult to refresh, zoom meta-holography has not been reported to date. Here, a multi-wavelength achromatic 3D meta-holography with a zoom function is developed, breaking through both the chromatic aberration interference and imaging limit for the first time. A wide-band 3D meta-hologram is generated and is used to design a wide-band metasurface fabricated with nanostructures based on the Pancharatnam-Berry phase, thus achieving the multi-wavelength meta-holography. A fast-tunable liquid lens with a large zoom range is designed, where a high elasticity polymer membrane and a high refractive index composite liquid with suitable viscosity and density are prepared to overcome the bottlenecks of limited zoom range and response speed. By jointly controlling the two liquid lenses, multi-wavelength achromatic 3D meta-holographic images with adjustable depth and size are successfully reconstructed. The zoom ratio of the meta-holographic images can reach 2.1, and the zoom response time can reach 5 ms. Such a tunable multi-wavelength achromatic 3D meta-holography has broad applications in storage, display, and information security.

Since flat optics has the feature to implement a compact system, they are widely used in various applications to replace bulky refractive optics. However, they suffer from chromatic aberrations due to dispersion, limiting their effectiveness to a narrow wavelength range. Consequently, diffractive optics has been applied for dynamic beam steering within a specific wavelength region or for static steering across multiple wavelengths.

The forward model, enhanced with residual connections and dual-convolution modules, achieves over 96% prediction accuracy. The inverse model, using a CVAE architecture with a dual-convolution decoder, generates high-dimensional structural encodings from target spectra.

This paper presents the design and nanoprinting of a fiber-integrated achromatic diffractive lens within the visible spectrum (450-650 nm). The 3D nanoprinting is achieved by a high-resolution direct laser writing technology, overcoming limitations in the optical performance caused by the lack of an arbitrary 3D structure writing capability and an insufficient feature resolution in the current manufacturing technology for visible light broadband achromatic diffractive lenses.

Benefiting from the stimulated responsive property of the hydrogel, pH modulation yielded swelling and affected the refractive index of the element, enabling multi-wavelength focusing performance tuning and chromatic aberration adjustment. Using femtosecond laser lithography, we fabricated a separate hydrogel microlens and Fresnel zone plate and measured the tunable focusing performance while varying pH; the results were consistent with our simulation results.
