Mathematical synthesis and analysis of a second-order magneto-electrically nonlinear metasurface
Abstract:
We propose a discussion on the synthesis and scattering analysis of nonlinear metasurfaces. For simplicity, we investigate the case of a second-order nonlinear isotropic metasurface possessing both electric and magnetic linear and nonlinear susceptibility components. We next find the synthesis expressions relating the susceptibilities to the specified fields, which leads to the definition of the nonlinear metasurface conditions for no reflection, themselves revealing the nonreciprocal nature of such structures. Finally, we provide the approximate expressions of the scattered fields based on perturbation theory and compare the corresponding results to finite-difference time-domain simulations.
