Abstract
Topologically protected skyrmion textures of light have garnered significant attention due to their potential applications in next-generation high-density data storage and logic devices. However, achieving compact and tunable on-chip skyrmion modes remains a formidable challenge. In this work, we present a novel approach empowered by birefringent metasurfaces to generate and manipulate spin-multiplexed photonic skyrmion textures. By encoding independent phase profiles onto orthogonal spin states, we observe the emergence of anti-skyrmions and skyrmioniums via Stokes parameter measurements, elucidating their distinct topological characteristics. This spin-multiplexed metasurface platform not only facilitates high-dimensional multiplexing but also enables the miniaturization of topological quasi-particles, offering promising prospects for applications in optical memory, information processing, and communications. © 2024 IOP Publishing Ltd.
