Multi-layer three-dimensional (3D) metamaterials have emerged as a platform to realize multifunctional chiral devices such as for asymmetric transmission. However, the alignment and fabrication methods of 3D chiral metamaterials are quite complex and time-consuming, which deteriorate the pragmatic use of such devices. Here, a unique type of direction-controlled single-layer metasurface hologram consisting of low loss hydrogenated amorphous silicon meta-atoms is proposed. The hologram behaves like a chiral metasurface and generates two unique holographic images in the forward and backward directions. The observed direction-sensitivity is explained by the spin-dependent multiplexing of two independent single-layer metasurfaces. Our proposed metasurface has obvious advantages over multi-layer chiral structures in terms of ease of fabrication, robustness, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Finite-difference time-domain simulations proved the feasibility of direction-controlled all-dielectric holograms with high transmission efficiency in the visible domain. Due to the relatively easy manufacturing method utilized, and the novel functionality, this work can empower practical applications using direction-dependent integrated functional devices.

This paper reports a new symmetric gyroscope structure that allows not only matched resonant frequencies for the drive and sense vibration modes for better resolution, but also decoupled drive and sense oscillation modes for preventing unstable operation due to mechanical coupling. The symmetry and decoupling features are achieved at the same time with a new suspension beam design. The gyroscope structure is designed using a standard three-layer polysilicon surface micromachining process (MUMPs) and simulat...
