Descripción
Resumen:This paper proposes a broadband and high-efficiency anomalous reflection device based on a dielectric catenary metasurface, addressing the bottleneck problems of low efficiency and narrow bandwidth in traditional discrete metasurfaces. By designing a silicon-based equal-strength catenary structure, the efficient control of circularly polarized light beams within a wide angular range in the infrared band has been achieved. Simulation results show that the designed metasurface exhibits excellent beam steering performance when the deflection angle reaches 65°. Furthermore, to characterize the diffraction efficiency of the metasurface within a large angular range, the results indicate that under oblique incidence (0–60°), the diffraction efficiency of the ±1st order exceeds 80%, and the undesired higher-order diffractions are significantly suppressed. This ultrahigh working efficiency is attributed to the nearly perfect polarization conversion and continuous phase profile of the dielectric catenary structure. By combining catenary optics with the low-loss properties of the dielectric material, this design provides a new solution for the design of efficient, broadband, and wide-angle planar optical devices.
