Combining the advantages of both auto-focusing Airy beams and vortex beams, the vortex auto-focusing Airy (VAFA) beam has received increasing attentions. However, conventional methods to generate VAFA beams usually require the utilization of bulky devices and complex optical systems, and the applications of VAFA beams are rarely reported. In this work, a novel method to generate and modulate multimode VAFA beams with a single monolayer metasurface is proposed based on the angularly spacing arrangement array and polarization multiplexing. Through spatial multiplexing and polarization multiplexing, we have significantly expanded the modulation capacity of a single-layer metasurface, enabling the synchronous and independent control of multiple optical channels. Based on this approach, we achieved complex manipulation of multimode VAFA beams and the generation of VAFA beams array. Additionally, leveraging the VAFA beam arrays, we designed a polarization-detection metasurface capable of full-polarization states detection. This work not only offers a fresh perspective on the flexible production of multiple beams with a single monolayer metasurface, but also presents the applications in the field of polarization detection of complex Airy beams, holding great potential for a wide range of applications in laser processing and optical communication.
