In this study, a Metamaterial Incident Photon Reconstruction Theory (MIPRT) is developed to describe the modulation process of metamaterials on incident photons. The theory includes the Invariant Incident Photon Hypothesis and Resonant Phase Deconstruction and Quantification; it reveals the modulation characteristics of metamaterials on incident photons, not by first absorption and then re-emission but by inducing coherent destructive interference, which brings about redistribution of the spatial probability of photon occurrence. This theory is validated in a single-layer metamaterial, and a unique relationship between the resonant phase and amplitude is derived and confirmed by simulation. The proposed MIPRT brings a comprehensive understanding of the electromagnetic (EM) response characteristics of metamaterials and provides a new idea for metamaterial theory from another perspective.

Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...
