Abstract

Hydrogels such as PVA have yet to be fully exploited in metasurfaces due to their fairly low refractive index and fabrication feasibility. Here, we demonstrate one-step nanoimprinted PVA metasurfaces with resolutions reaching sub-100 nm, and aspect ratios approaching 10. We then demonstrate three distinct relative humidity dependent dual-mode optical security applications using the PVA metasurfaces. Through the swelling of the PVA when exposed to high humidity conditions and careful design of meta-atoms with different dimensions orientated at specific angles, multiplexed color prints and holograms can be selectively uncovered or destroyed.
