Rapidly developing augmented reality, solid-state light detection and ranging (LIDAR), and holographic display technologies require spatial light modulators (SLMs) with high resolution and viewing angle to satisfy increasing customer demands. Performance of currently available SLMs is limited by their large pixel sizes on the order of several micrometers. Here, we propose a concept of tunable dielectric metasurfaces modulated by liquid crystal, which can provide abrupt phase change, thus enabling pixel-size miniaturization. We present a metasurface-based transmissive SLM, configured to generate active beam steering with >35% efficiency and a large beam deflection angle of 11°. The high resolution and steering angle obtained provide opportunities to develop the next generation of LIDAR and display technologies.

The non-periodic pinhole array filtering of a spatial light modulator (SLM) is proposed for filtering the high-order noise and DC noise of a holographic display. Conventionally, DC and high-order noise sources are filtered by a 4f filtering system. Because the 4f filtering system requires a long optical path length, noise filtering is a stumbling block when attempting to realize a compact holographic display. By contrast, the proposed method simply uses a thin filter fabricated by photolithography. In order to verify this concept, we confirmed the feasibility of the filter with a numerical simulation and with a custom-made non-periodic pinhole array filter used in a practical experiment. The proposed method was shown to have the potential to be used in applications ranging from compact wearable devices to table-top holographic displays.
