Metasurfaces are two-dimensional structures enabling complete control on light amplitude, phase, and polarization. Unlike plasmonic metasurfaces, silicon structures facilitate high transmission, low losses, and compatibility with existing semiconductor technologies. We experimentally demonstrate two examples of high-efficiency polarization-sensitive dielectric metasurfaces with 2π phase control in transmission mode (45% transmission efficiency for the vortex converter and 36% transmission efficiency for the beam steering device) at telecommunication wavelengths. Silicon metasurfaces are poised to enable a versatile platform for the realization of all-optical circuitry on a chip.
超表面是一种二维结构,可以对光的振幅、相位和偏振进行完全控制。与等离子体超表面不同,硅结构具有高传输率、低损耗以及与现有半导体技术兼容的特点。我们在实验中演示了两种高效偏振敏感介电超表面的实例,它们在传输模式下具有 2π 相移控制(涡旋转换器的传输效率为 45%,光束转向器件的传输效率为 36%),工作波长位于电信波段。硅超表面有望成为在芯片上实现全光电路的通用平台。
