Metasurfaces based on dielectric nanostructures are an ideal platform for nonlinear optical experiments (such as third-harmonic generation). They provide high damage thresholds and strong nonlinear responses; Therefore, many works show progress dielectric metasurfaces with high nonlinear conversion efficiency. However, in achieving nonlinear wavefront control, less progress has been made. Therefore, we show the nonlinear wavefront control for the third-harmonic generation with a silicon metasurface. We choose a geometric phase approach to encode phase gradients and holographic images on a dielectric metasurface. In our experiment, we demonstrate the wavefront control and the multiplexed reconstruction of holograms at the third-harmonic wavelength. Our approach provides a simple principle for designing metasurfaces for nonlinear optical applications with dielectric building blocks.
