研究目的
To realize a single-layer bifacial metasurface that enables full-space control of light in the visible range, allowing independent phase modulation in transmission and reflection spaces for applications like asymmetric beam steering and hologram generation.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a single-layer bifacial metasurface for full-space visible light control, enabling independent phase modulation in transmission and reflection through generalized Kerker effect and PB phase. Experimental validations show asymmetric beam steering and hologram generation with potential applications in miniaturized optical devices, though limitations in bandwidth and efficiency exist.
研究不足
The proposed structure operates in a narrow band near the target wavelength of 660 nm due to dispersive nature, and fabrication errors lead to imperfect amplitude control and lower extinction ratios in beam deflection experiments. Hologram conversion efficiency is lower experimentally compared to numerical results, attributed to polarization filtering issues.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study combines multipolar interference and Pancharatnam–Berry phase to design a metasurface for full-space light control. Numerical simulations using finite element method (COMSOL Multiphysics) and analytical multipole decomposition are employed to design meta-atoms.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Amorphous silicon nanopillars on quartz wafers are used as meta-atoms, with structural parameters (w1, w2, rotation angle θ) varied to achieve desired phase differences.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes electron beam lithography system (JEOL JBX-6300FS), PECVD tool (Applied Materials P5000), ICP-RIE tool, CCD sensor, 660 nm laser, and materials such as hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ, XR-1541-006 from Dow Corning), TMAH solution (25 wt% from Sigma Aldrich), and quartz wafers.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Fabrication involves depositing silicon oxide and amorphous silicon via PECVD, spinning HSQ resist, electron beam lithography, development with TMAH, and etching with ICP-RIE. Measurements are conducted using a CCD camera in transmission and reflection setups with circularly polarized light incidence.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Multipole coefficients are calculated from induced current density, and phase differences are analyzed using numerical simulations and experimental data. Hologram efficiency is computed using angular spectrum method.
