Single-layer chiral metasurface for circularly polarized light detection

Abstract: Circular polarizers based on the metasurface suffer from a trade-off between the structural complexity and the polarization extinction ratio (ER). Herein, we present a single-layer chiral metasurface with strong circular dichroism. The structure turns a circularly polarized incident beam into a linearly polarized beam, achieving a high circular polarization ER. The operating wavelength of the proposed metasurface is tunable by changing the geometric parameters. The metasurface’s localized surface plasmon resonances between structures ensure strong chiral optical effects. We further experimentally demonstrate the circular dichroism of the fabricated metasurface.

摘要:基于超表面的圆偏振器件往往面临着结构复杂度和偏振消光比之间的权衡。提出一种具有强圆二色性的单层手性超表面。该结构能够将圆偏振入射光转化为线偏振光,并且能够实现高的圆偏振消光比。所设计的超表面可以通过改变几何参数的方式改变工作波长。该超表面结构之间的局域表面等离子体共振产生了强手性光学效应。此外,通过实验表征了该超表面的圆二色性。
