Abstract

We demonstrate a metafiber platform capable of creating arbitrarily structured light on the hybrid-order Poincaré sphere. The metasurface is directly printed on the end face of a commercial polarization-maintaining optical fiber through 3D laser nanoprinting process. The release of height degree of freedom greatly expands the 3D meta-atom library, empowering metasurfaces to independently manipulate phase and polarization. Our work provides a paradigm for advancing optical fiber science and technology towards fiber-integrated light shaping, which may find important applications in fiber communications, fiber lasers and sensors, endoscopic imaging, fiber lithography, and lab-on-fiber technology.
