Abstract
We propose a new generation of reprogrammable multi-functional bias encoded metasurfaces for dynamic wave manipulation using liquid crystals (LC). This metadevice is an array of unit-cells based on LCs to provide the desired phase steps based on its large birefringence property. The presented 3-bit coding metasurface (CM) use 8 states of "000"-"111" to control and manipulate the scattered wave at λ=1.4µm for several applications. The metasurface is introduced in detail and followed by several examples to show its versatility. Steered pencil, regular, and focused vortex beams with different topological charges are realized. The theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations. The proposed CM enables the realization of multifunctional optical wavefront manipulation and future intelligent optical devices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
