Tailoring light properties using metasurfaces made of optically thin and subwavelength structure arrays has led to a variety of innovative optical components with intriguing functionalities. Transmitted/reflected light field distribution with exquisite nanoscale resolution achievable with metasurfaces has been utilized to encode holographic complex amplitude, leading to arbitrary holographic intensity profile in the plane of interest. Vectorial metasurface holography, which not only controls the intensity profile, but also modifies the polarization distributions of the light field, has recently attracted enormous attention due to their promising applications in photonics and optics. Here, we review the recent progresses of the vectorial metasurface holography, from the basic concept to the practical implementation. Moreover, vectorial metasurfaces can also be multiplexed with other degrees of freedom, such as wavelength and nonlinearity, enriching and broadening its applications in both civil and military field.
