In this paper, the broadband transmissive modulation of polarization and amplitude is demonstrated with high efficiency and tunability using multi-layered aluminum metasurfaces. Broadband and nondispersive optical rotation in the optical frequency region is realized by using Fabry-Pérot-like cavity and phase compensation. Simultaneously, the transmission amplitude can be independently controlled by adjusting the twist angle of the anisotropic metasurfaces. The proposed polarization-amplitude modulators are numerically demonstrated to achieve large tunability with an amplitude modulation depth of 0.95 and maximum rotation angle of 180°.
