Area of Science:

Optics and Photonics
Materials Science
Metamaterials

Background:

Subwavelength gratings typically exhibit high reflectance for transverse electric (TE) polarized light.
Achieving high reflectance for transverse magnetic (TM) polarized light with such structures is challenging.
Metamaterials offer unique electromagnetic properties not found in natural materials.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate an ultra-thin silver film-coated grating as a split silver nanotube array.
To explore its capability for high reflectance in both TE and TM polarized light.
To understand the underlying electromagnetic mechanisms for anomalous TM reflectance.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of an ultra-thin silver film-coated grating.
Experimental measurement of TE and TM polarized reflectance spectra.
Near-field analysis and simulation to reveal electromagnetic properties.
Retrieval of equivalent electromagnetic parameters and optical constants.

Main Results:

The silver nanotube array grating demonstrates high TE polarized reflectance.
It also achieves high TM polarized reflectance, comparable to or exceeding TE reflectance.
TM reflectance peak wavelength is sensitive to the silver covering's morphology.
Near-field analysis identifies the structure as an ultra-thin optical double negative metamaterial.
Negative permeability is induced by magnetic field reversal within the grating at the TM reflectance peak.

Conclusions:

The split silver nanotube array functions as an ultra-thin optical double negative metamaterial.
Anomalous high TM reflection is attributed to induced negative permeability and specific impedance characteristics.
The structure's tunable TM reflectance offers potential for novel optical devices.
