| contents | Within the feline eye, a distinctive tapetum lucidum as a mirror resides posterior to the retina, reflecting the incident rays to simulate light source emission. This secondary emission property enables felines to be highly sensitive to light, possessing remarkable visual capabilities even in dark settings. Drawing inspiration from this natural phenomenon, we propose an active-passive-composite sub-terahertz meta-imager integrated with a bifocus metasurface, a high-sensitivity radiometer, and a low-power signal hidden radiation source. Benefiting from its aperture-shared advantage, this advanced fusion imaging system, enabled to be deployed by a simplified portable hardware platform, allows for the concurrent acquisition of active and passive electromagnetic properties to extend the target detection category and realize multi-mode fusion perception. Notably, it also enables the extraction of radiation and reflection characteristics without additional calibration modules. Experiments demonstrate the multi-target fusion imaging and localized information decoupling with the tailored field of view and emission energy. This compact and multi-mode fusion imaging system may have plenty of potential for airplane navigation positioning, abnormal monitoring, and non-interactive concealed security checks. |
