研究目的
To design and simulate terahertz metalenses with multidimensional and multifocusing capabilities using complementary square-split-ring nanoantennas for controlling focal spots in horizontal and longitudinal directions.
研究成果
The proposed SSR-based metalenses successfully achieve multidimensional and multifocal focusing in the terahertz region with flexible control over focal spot properties. The partitioned-mode design offers a novel approach for practical applications in optical devices, though further experimental work is needed to validate and optimize performance.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulations without experimental validation, which may not account for real-world fabrication challenges or losses. The focusing energy efficiency is moderate (e.g., 20.7% for a specific lens), and there are discrepancies between simulated and theoretical focal positions. The numerical aperture is limited due to large focal lengths.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses numerical simulations based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods and CST Microwave Studio for designing and analyzing metasurface lenses. The design incorporates Fabry-Pérot resonance principles and Parancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase modulation to control phase profiles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples are simulated unit cells and arrays of SSR nanoantennas on a silicon substrate with gold gratings. Parameters such as unit period, widths, and thicknesses are fixed or varied based on theoretical calculations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The materials include gold for nanoantennas and gratings, and a silicon substrate. Equipment involves simulation software (CST Microwave Studio, MATLAB) for numerical analysis; no physical fabrication is described.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The workflow includes designing SSR unit cells with specific geometric parameters, arranging them into 1D and 2D arrays, simulating transmission and phase shifts under x-polarized terahertz incidence, and analyzing focal properties using optical path and wave equations.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis is performed using MATLAB and CST software to compute phase shifts, transmission amplitudes, focal lengths, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and focusing energy efficiency.
