In this work, a novel method to generate and modulate multimode VAFA beams with a single monolayer metasurface is proposed based on the angularly spacing arrangement array and polarization multiplexing. Through spatial multiplexing and polarization multiplexing, we have significantly expanded the modulation capacity of a single-layer metasurface, enabling the synchronous and independent control of multiple optical channels. Based on this approach, we achieved complex manipulation of multimode VAFA beams and the generation of VAFA beams array. Additionally, leveraging the VAFA beam arrays, we designed a polarization-detection metasurface capable of full-polarization states detection. This work not only offers a fresh perspective on the flexible production of multiple beams with a single monolayer metasurface, but also presents the applications in the field of polarization detection of complex Airy beams, holding great potential for a wide range of applications in laser processing and optical communication.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"352 ","pages":"Article 109815"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145956749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both symmetric and asymmetric Poincaré spinors were formulated to characterize the polarization states of incident plane wave and the far-zone scattering amplitude, and two different geometric phases were defined therefrom. Density plots of both geometric phases were calculated for six different homogeneous isotropic spheres with different linear constitutive properties and boundary conditions: dielectric–magnetic spheres (non-dissipative and dissipative), impedance spheres, perfect electrically conducting spheres, charged dielectric–magnetic spheres, dielectric–magnetic spheres with topologically insulating surface states, isotropic chiral spheres, and isotropic chiral spheres with topologically insulating surface states. The incident plane waves were taken to be linearly and circularly polarized, for the sake of illustration. Numerical results revealed that geometric-phase density plots possess significantly richer features than their counterparts for the differential scattering efficiency.

To better understand the variations on optical properties, we perform broadband diffuse and specular spectrometry from visible to far-infrared wavelengths of four Lunar regolith simulants. Dust simulants of coarse and fine blends were imaged in scanning electron microscope to validate the particle size distributions. In the visible to near-IR, fine-particle simulants show fewer differences in solar absorption and albedo, while FTIR measurements show compositional oxide differences. Surface absorptivity can vary between 0.63 at the Highlands and 0.79 in Mares, while Lunar albedo obtained from specular spectrometry relative to a Lambertian white reflecting standard can range between 0.79 and 0.64, respectively. Using diffuse FTIR spectrometry, thermal emissivity relative to room temperature blackbody across all Lunar simulants are around 0.78.

Explicit expressions for the first two terms of the expansion are derived. The first term reproduces the well-known result of quasi-single-scattering approximation, and the second one corresponds to the contribution of quasi-double scattering (the small-angle multiple scattering before, between, and after two events of large-angle scattering). To validate our analytical results, we carry out numerical integration of the radiative transfer equation for the Henyey–Greenstein (HG) phase function, as well as for the two-term HG and Morel et al (for Case I water) ones. For optical parameters typical to seawater, our analytical formula is in excellent agreement with the results of numerical radiative transfer calculations over a wide range of illumination/viewing angles.
