研究目的
Investigating the dispersion properties and direct imaging of isofrequency contours of guided modes in an extremely anisotropic all-dielectric metasurface.
研究成果
The study successfully visualized isofrequency contours of guided modes in an anisotropic all-dielectric metasurface, revealing transitions between hyperbolic-like and elliptic dispersion regimes. The use of a solid immersion lens enhanced numerical aperture, enabling access to strongly localized states. Full dispersion relations were reconstructed, demonstrating the metasurface's potential for wavefront shaping and on-chip applications with low losses.
研究不足
The numerical aperture was lower than expected (2.19 vs. 2.25) due to non-ideal SIL shape and refractive index deviations. The setup has limitations in polarization uniformity and access to certain wave vectors, requiring combination of data from different polarizations for full IFC visualization.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a back focal plane microscopy setup combined with a solid immersion lens for direct imaging of isofrequency contours. Numerical simulations are performed using the Fourier modal method and FDTD simulations to model re?ectivity and ?eld distributions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The metasurface sample is fabricated on a silicon on insulator substrate using e-beam lithography and reactive ion etching, with parameters p=180 nm, d=125 nm, h=70 nm. Data is acquired from experimental measurements and simulations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Supercontinuum laser source (Fianium WhiteLase SC400-6), acousto-optic ?lter (Fianium AOTF), high-NA objective (Mitutoyo M Plan Apo HR, 100x,
4:9 NA), ZnSe solid immersion lens, piezo positioner, CMOS camera. Materials include crystalline silicon, silica buffer layer. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Linearly polarized light is focused on the SIL surface, with the gap controlled by a piezo positioner. Re?ectivity dips are imaged in the back focal plane using a lens system and CMOS camera. Simulations involve FMM for re?ectivity maps and FDTD for ?eld distributions from dipole excitations.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data is analyzed to reconstruct dispersion relations ω(kx, ky) by combining isofrequency curves from multiple wavelengths, with comparisons to numerical simulations.
