Frequency-dependent electromagnetic beam manipulation with dual-polarized wideband metagrating at an extreme-angle
Abstract:
Recent advances in optical diffraction metagratings provide unprecedented opportunities for controlling large-angle wave scattering in photonics and spectroscopy. However, current metagrating mostly suffer from limitations on the polarization and bandwidth for extreme-angle wavefront transformation, remaining as a basic obstacle for developing metagrating devices for energy control in different polarization and frequency channels. Utilizing the orthogonally embedded grating method, a dual-polarized metagrating beam deflector is reported for high-efficiency scattering manipulation over a wide band. Exemplary cases of electromagnetic retroreflection and frequency-dependent beam scanning with a large angular range at an extreme-angle incidence are implemented at microwave frequencies. Due to the attractive features of simple geometry, extreme wavefront transformation, and dual polarization, the proposed metagratings offer possibilities for polarization and frequency division multiplexing wireless communications, remote sensing, etc.
