Compared to conventional devices, metasurface offer the advantages of lightweight, planarization and tuning flexibility. It provides a new way to integrate and miniaturize optical systems. In this paper, a metasurface capable of generating multiple bottle beams was designed. Based on the Pancharatnam–Berry (P-B) phase principle, the metasurface lens can accurately control the wavefront by adjusting the aspect ratio of the titanium dioxide nanopillars and the rotation angle. When irradiated by left-handed circularly polarized light with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, the optical system can produce multiple micron bottle beams. Taking two bottle beams as examples, the longitudinal full width at half-maximum of the optical tweezers can reach 0.85 and 1.12 microns respectively, and the transverse full width at half-maximum can reach 0.46 and 0.6 microns. And the number of generated bottle beams can be varied by controlling the size of the annular obstacle. By changing the x-component of the unit rotation angle, the metasurface can also change the shape of the bottle beam-the beam cross-section can be changed from circular to elliptical. This paper also analyzes the trapping of ytterbium atoms by the multi bottle beam as optical tweezers. It is found that the multi bottle beam can cool and trap multiple ytterbium atoms.

“…In order to make full use of the advantages of surface plasmons and overcome the problem of limited propagation distance, recently, in-plane excitation and manipulation of SPP beams have attracted researchers’ attention. Researchers have proposed a series of two-dimensional (2D) optical surface beams with properties of non-diffracting and self-reconstructing, such as generation of plasmonic Bessel-like [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19], Airy [20,21], Mathieu and Weber [22], bottle beams [23,24,25,26,27] and arbitrary bending plasmonic light beams [28,29]. Among these nondiffracting SPP beams, plasmonic Bessel-like beam is the most common one, which has a straight trajectory and maintains its transverse profile over a certain distance.…”

“…For instance, plasmonic Bessel-like beams were generated by intersecting metallic gratings forming an angle [10,11,12,13,14,15], nonperiodic nanohole array on a metal film [16], a simply metallic grating illuminated by the coupled light with designed phase distribution provided by a spatial light modulator [17], a single triangular dielectric sub-wavelength lens [18], or via surface plasmon excitation with a tightly focused radially polarized beam [19]. Plasmonic bottle beams were generated by two pairs of intersecting grooves [23], three groups of metallic gratings [24], a special binary phase mask [25], a four-slit structure under illumination of multiple-incident Gaussian beams with different phases [26], two slits or one slit structure illuminated by multiple incident lights [27]. Most of the above-mentioned studies utilize gratings (or grooves or slits with length on the order of micrometers) as coupling structures.…”

Realizing multiple beam shaping functionalities in a single plasmonic device is crucial for photonic integration. Both plasmonic Bessel-like beams and bottle beams have potential applications in nanophotonics, particularly in plasmonic based circuits, near field optical trapping, and micro manipulation. Thus, it is very interesting to find new approaches for simultaneous generation of surface plasmon polariton Bessel-like beams and bottle beams in a single photonic device. Two types of polarization-dependent devices, which consist of arrays of spatially distributed sub-wavelength rectangular slits, are designed. The array of slits are specially arranged to construct an X-shaped or an IXI-shaped array, namely X-shaped device and IXI-shaped devices, respectively. Under illumination of circularly polarized light, plasmonic zero-order and first-order Bessel-like beams can be simultaneously generated on both sides of X-shaped devices. Plasmonic Bessel-like beam and bottle beam can be simultaneously generated on both sides of IXI-shaped devices. By changing the handedness of circularly polarized light, for both X-shaped and IXI-shaped devices, the positions of the generated plasmonic beams on either side of device can be dynamically interchanged.

An optical system was designed that can generate a bottle beam with a reconfigurable function. The incident beam is produced by transmitting a circular Gaussian beam through the oblique circular aperture, effectively forming the elliptic beam spot. Due to the asymmetry of the elliptically limited Gaussian beam, the bottle beam with locally vanishing light intensity is generated after the optical system. The results show that the bottle beam can be opened and closed freely by the oblique circular aperture, which is of great significance to particle capture.
