This study presents metasurface-based perfect vortex beams (MPVBs) with topological charges (TCs) as high as -32 and 16 at visible wavelengths. These MPVBs maintain a constant annular intensity distribution across different TCs, enabling broadband operation and spatial coupling of multiple beams. The optical eraser concept was implemented using MPVBs, demonstrating the potential of MPVBs in advancing quantum optics and optical device engineering. The optical eraser experiments showed that the flower-like interference patterns facilitate the uniformization of ring-shaped intensity profiles for MPVBs with different TCs. The MPVBs were fabricated using gallium nitride (GaN) with high-aspect-ratio meta-structures, achieving high performance and broadband operation. The MPVBs were characterized using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, revealing their ability to switch the helicity of spiral interference patterns to achieve consistent annular intensity profiles. The optical eraser experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of MPVBs in probing quantum behaviors in optics. The study highlights the potential of MPVBs in quantum optics and optical device engineering, paving the way for future research in this area. The MPVBs were fabricated using advanced techniques, including electron-beam lithography and reactive-ion etching, to achieve high-aspect-ratio meta-structures. The results show that MPVBs can be used for various applications, including quantum entanglement, optical erasing, and quantum microscopy. The study also discusses the implications of the optical eraser effect on the understanding of time between classical concepts and quantum processes. The successful demonstration of MPVBs with high TCs and their integration into optical eraser experiments highlight the potential of metasurface-based optical devices in future optical technologies.This study presents metasurface-based perfect vortex beams (MPVBs) with topological charges (TCs) as high as -32 and 16 at visible wavelengths.
