The optical encrypted metasurface based on one-dimensional grating diffraction requires the processing of mask or unit structure one by one, resulting in low efficiency. In addition, the poor uniformity of the structure formed by conventional ablated LIPSS can also affect device performance. Aming at the above problems, an optical metasurfaces processing method is proposed based on modified structures obtained by picosecond laser direct writing phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5. Firstly, the dispersion properties of the prepared GST-modified gratings are first characterized, and the angle-multiplexed information encryption metasurfaces are designed by combining the polarization dependence of the modified grating, and the metasurface prepared by the proposed method is further demonstrated. In addition, the performance of encryption under natural light conditions and selective decryption reading and dynamic display under strong light conditions has been achieved. Compared to the conventional processing method, the proposed method can generate a series of grating structures in the form of simultaneous printing in a direct writing process, which improves the processing efficiency. At the same time, the grating structure obtained by processing has good uniformity and consistency, which improves the color rendering effect. A modified grating with an orientation angle difference of 16° is used to realize selective information reading without crosstalk resulting in uniform and bright structural colors. The processing strategy proposed in this paper has a profound application prospect in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, information encryption storage and wearable flexible display devices.
