We design a simple catenary metasurface with high efficiency, which could obtain both the degree of circular polarization and the wavelength of incident polarized light by measuring the diffraction intensity and the deflection angle. The catenary decomposes the incidence into left and right circularly polarized light and diffracts them to different predesigned directions with different deflection angles that present the wavelength information. The diffraction efficiency of the designed catenary exceeds 94%, the average diffraction efficiency is up to 97.6% at the wavelength of 8-14μm, and angular dispersion is 0.078°/nm. Moreover, the degree of circular polarization for various incident polarization states can be characterized by diffraction intensities. This work may provide extensive applications for biosensing, DNA structural analysis, stereochemistry, etc.
