Double-phase metasurface operators for all-optical image processing.
Article in Light, science & applications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
All-optical image processing offers a high-speed, energy-efficient alternative to conventional electronic systems by leveraging the wave nature of light for parallel computation. However, traditional optical processors rely on bulky components, limiting scalability and integration. Here, we demonstrate a compact metasurface-based platform for analog optical computing. By employing double-phase encoding and polarization multiplexing, our approach enables arbitrary image transformations within a single passive nanophotonic device, eliminating the need for complex optical setups or digital post-processing. We experimentally showcase key computational operations, including first-order differentiation, cross-correlation, vertex detection, and Laplacian differentiation. Additionally, we extend this framework to high-resolution complex holography, achieving subwavelength-scale volumetric wavefront control for depth-resolved reconstructions with high fidelity. Our results establish a scalable and versatile approach to computational optics, with applications including real-time image processing, energy-efficient computing, biomedical imaging, high-fidelity holographic displays, and optical data storage, driving the advancement of intelligent optical processors.
