Metasurfaces, which possess unprecedented capabilities in manipulating electromagnetic wavefronts, are promising for accurate complex amplitude modulation with a compact device. However, current strategy of complex amplitude modulation based on metasurfaces focuses on anisotropic unit design which is intrinsically constrained of polarization states. In this study, we propose a design methodology of polarization-independent metasurface which comprises an array of nanocylinders with various radii and heights. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified using an optical vortex generator and a complex-amplitude hologram device. The straightforward, cost-effective, and polarization-independent design can provide robust and reliable solutions for wavefronts modulation in various optical applications.
