摘要

Vector vortex beams, as structured light fields with both orbital angular momentum and inhomogeneous polarization distribution, have shown significant potential in cutting-edge fields such as quantum information, high-dimensional optical communication, and super-resolution imaging. In recent years, metasurfaces, with their remarkable ability to control electromagnetic wavefronts at subwavelength scales, have become core devices for the efficient generation and dynamic manipulation of vector vortex beams. Research in this area holds substantial academic value and promising application prospects. This review systematically summarizes the progress made over the past five years in all-dielectric, metallic, and programmable metasurfaces for the generation and manipulation of vector vortex beams, and provides an in-depth analysis of the advantages of these three types of metasurfaces in this domain. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence with metasurface design and applications is discussed, highlighting its potential to enable intelligent design strategies and adaptive control of structured light. Finally, the future development trends and possible breakthroughs in metasurface-based vector vortex beam manipulation are outlined.
