Integration of multiple functionalities into a single, planar, and ultra-compact device has become an emerging research area in photonics. In this work, we design, fabricate, and experimentally demonstrate a trifunctional metasurface integrated by meta-atoms with resonant and geometrical phase cells. By changing the polarization and incident direction of electromagnetic (EM) waves, the wavefronts of the transmitted and reflected waves can be reshaped. The metasurface exhibits the strong capability to manipulate both the linearly polarized (LP) wave and circularly polarized (CP) wave at different frequencies. Therefore, the designed trifunctional metasurface can achieve three distinct functionalities including beam deflecting for X-linearly polarized (X-LP) wave at 13 GHz impinging from below, and diverging and focusing lens for CP waves at 9 GHz impinging from above. Both far-field and near-field microwave experiments demonstrate the predicted functionalities of the fabricated device, which can advance research and applications related to other distinct functionalities of photonics integration.
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.
