This research article presents a novel deep-subwavelength four-layered meta-coating designed for visible-infrared compatible camouflage. The meta-coating, consisting of Si, Bi, Si, and Cr layers with a total thickness of approximately 355 nm, can independently adjust its visible color and infrared emission properties. The visible color is tunable by varying the thickness of the top Si layer, while the infrared emission remains selective in the non-atmospheric window. The meta-coating exhibits high angle tolerance in both visible and infrared regions, making it suitable for various applications such as military camouflage and anti-counterfeiting. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the meta-coating through experimental validation under different environments, highlighting its potential for practical use in visible-infrared compatible camouflage. The design is characterized by its simplicity, cost-efficiency, large-area fabrication feasibility, and deep-subwavelength properties, making it a promising solution for advanced camouflage technologies.This research article presents a novel deep-subwavelength four-layered meta-coating designed for visible-infrared compatible camouflage.
