The abrupt phase changes at the interface can modulate the polarization and wavefront of electromagnetic waves, which is the physical mechanism of the plasmonic metasurfaces. Conventional polarization converters are difficult to obtain pure polarized light, and most of the anomalously reflecting metasurfaces are limited by the specific angle of incident polarization. Here, we present a high-efficient polarization-independent metasurface for broadband polarization conversion and anomalous reflection when a plane wave with an arbitrary polarization angle is incident vertically. We vary the dimensions of the polarization conversion unit cells and arrange them periodically to cover the full 2π phase range of cross-polarized light in two orthogonal directions. The simulation results show that the pure anomalous cross-polarization efficiency is over 80% over a wavelength range from 1400nm to 1800nm. In particular, the metasurface can realize the complementary conversion of polarization angle for incident light at any polarization angle, and deflect it to a specific angle. Our design provides strategies for miniaturization and integration of polarization conversion devices and systems.
We prove a unified convergence theorem, which presents in four equivalent forms of the famous Antosik-Mikusinski Theorems. In particular, we show that Swartz' three uniform convergence principles are all equivalent to the Antosik-Mikusinski Theorems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
