Reconfigurable all-dielectric antenna-based metasurface driven by multipolar resonances
Abstract:
Dielectric nanoantenna-based metasurfaces have attracted wide attention for their outstanding performance in light manipulation with low loss and full phase coverage enabled by multipolar resonances. To make the metasurfaces actively tunable, we adopt a kind of phase-changing material Ge2Sb2Te5 to construct non-volatile, switchable antenna-based metasurfaces in the mid-infrared spectrum region. Our design of the metasurface can realize switching between electric and magnetic dipole resonances across a broad spectrum region through crystalline-amorphous phase transitions under fixed design. Moreover, the transmission switching contrast between different phases can be up to 30dB (-30dB), due to the shift of multipolar resonances. This reconfigurable antenna-based metasurface will pave the way for ultimate design of light modulators, deflectors, holograms and so on for future optical communication networks.
