Switchable phase and polarization singular beams generation using dielectric metasurfaces.

abstract：:Bacterial cells have characteristic spatial and temporal scales. For instance, Escherichia coli, the typical rod-shaped bacteria, always maintains a relatively constant cell width and cell division time. However, whether the external physical perturbation of cell width has an impact on cell division time remains large...
