Flat optical elements have attracted enormous attentions and act as promising candidates for the next generation of optical components. As one of the most outstanding representatives, liquid crystal (LC) has been widely applied in flat panel display industries and inspires the wavefront modulation with the development of LC alignment techniques. However, most LC elements perform only one type of optical manipulation and are difficult to realize the multifunctionality and light integration. Here, flat multifunctional liquid crystal elements (FMLCEs), merely composed of anisotropic LC molecules with space-variant orientations, are presented for multichannel information manipulation by means of polarization, space and wavelength multiplexing. Specifically, benefiting from the unique light response with the change of the incident polarization, observation plane, and working wavelength, a series of FMLCEs are demonstrated to achieve distinct near- and far-field display functions. The proposed strategy takes full advantage of basic optical parameters as the decrypted keys to improve the information capacity and security, and we expect it to find potential applications in information encryption, optical anti-counterfeiting, virtual/augmented reality, etc.

为满足某型光束指向装置高分辨率、空间紧凑和低成本的需求，结合其负载小、转速低的实际应用特点，设计了一种偏置型扭轮摩擦传动机构。该机构的变传动比特性通过改变主动轮与从动轮的扭角实现，为优选扭角设计区间，研究了扭角对机构位移特性的影响。在分析偏置型扭轮摩擦传动机构运动学特性及扭轮接触区受力、变形情况的基础上，建立了偏置型扭轮摩擦传动的刚柔耦合动力学模型，通过物理样机试验和多体动力学仿真分析，开展了扭角对输出角速度稳定性和角位移分辨率的影响。结果表明：扭角越大，机构输出角速度的波动范围也较大，传动越不平稳。设计的传动机构在扭角不大于80°时能实现平稳传动，且在大扭角条件下，机构能实现0.005˚（18″）的低速微步进运动，输出分辨率优于单级圆柱齿轮传动。上述分析为偏置型扭轮摩擦传动机构在光束指向装置传动系统中的应用提供了一种新的思路。

We propose a chip-integratable cylindrical vector (CV) beam generator by integrating six plasmonic split ring resonators (SRRs) on a planar photonic crystal (PPC) cavity. The employed PPC cavity is formed by cutting six adjacent air holes in the PPC center, which could generate a CV beam with azimuthally symmetric polarizations. By further integrating six SRRs on the structure defects of the PPC cavity, the polarizations of the CV beam could be tailored by controlling the opening angles of the SRRs, e.g., from azimuthal to radial symmetry. The mechanism is governed by the coupling between the resonance modes in SRRs and PPC cavity, which modifies the far-field radiation of the resonance mode of the PPC cavity with the SRR as the nano-antenna. The integration of SRRs also increases the coupling of the generated CV beam with the free-space optics, such as an objective lens, promising its further applications in optical communication, optical tweezer, imaging, etc.
