Plasmonic Nanocavity Metasurface Based on Laser-Structured Silver Surface and Silver Nanoprisms for the Enhancement of Adenosine Nucleotide Photoluminescence
摘要： A reliable photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and imaging of biomolecules at room temperature is a challenging and important problem of biophysics, biochemistry, and molecular genetics. A unique effect of strong plasmonic enhancement of the PL by metal nanostructures is one of the most effective approaches for this purpose. The highest enhancement is provided by metal nanostructures with densely packed sharp tips, periodically arranged metal nanostructures, and plasmonic cavities. All of these features have been realized in the plasmonic cavity metasurface based on the silver (Ag) laser-induced periodic surface structure and Ag triangular nanoprisms studied in the present work. The strong plasmon-enhanced PL of 5′-deoxyadenosine monophosphate deposited on such metasurfaces has been revealed at room temperature. The observed enhancement of more than 1000-fold has been interpreted as a result of synergetic action of the generation of a high concentration of hot spots near the sharp edges of the laser-induced surface structure and nanoprisms together with excitation of the collective gap mode of the cavity due to strong near-field plasmonic coupling. Correspondingly, the plasmonic cavity metasurfaces consisting of metal laser-induced periodic surface structures and nonspherical metal nanoparticles with sharp edges have been shown to be crucial for the highly sensitive detection and imaging of biomolecules at room temperature without consuming any dye labels.

Planar Phase Gradient Metasurface Antenna with Low RCS
摘要： A low radar cross section (RCS) planar antenna using phase gradient metasurface is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna works in the X-band and is fed by a parallel plate waveguide power divider. The designed phase gradient metasurface is coplanar with the feeding structure and couples guided waves in the parallel plate waveguide power divider to radiation waves. According to the generalized reflection law, the proposed metasurface is a frequency scanning antenna and the beam direction can be steered slightly from 16.6° to 13°. The proposed antenna is linearly polarized, and however, the RCS is reduced significantly for arbitrary polarized incident waves. The antenna was simulated, fabricated, and measured. The measurement results confirm well with the simulation results.

Design of a high-gain wideband antenna using double-layer metasurface
摘要： A wideband antenna is studied in this paper using a multi-layer metasurface structure and implementing a periodic array for enhancing the gain. The performance of the multilayer antenna is improved by using a sub-wavelength Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC). The feeding and main radiation patches of the microstrip antenna are placed separately on two substrates, which are stacked on top of each other without an air-gap in between. Two other substrates are placed within an optimized distance on top of the microstrip antenna. This structure, which has a double-sided periodic array configuration, includes a capacitive artificial impedance surface (AIS) on one side, and an inductive partially reflective surface (PRS) on the other side of the substrates. Making use of this configuration increases the gain up to 18 dBi and widens the frequency bandwidth. Moreover, measurement results indicate a frequency range from 10.8 GHz to 15 GHz with an S11 less than ?10 dB.

Radar cross section reduction metasurfaces based on phase gradient and chessboard structure
摘要： In this article, wideband radar cross section (RCS) reduction metasurface is proposed. The unit of the metasurface is consisted of a noncentral symmetry hexagon patch with 2 semi-circular slots at the symmetric corners. As a result, the unit has an anisotropic response for x- and y-polarized wave. The reflection phase is varied with the radius of slots. The range of phase variation is extended by rotation of the unit with 90°. According to the generalized Snell’s Law, 4 different phase gradient supercells with dual polarization characteristics and different gradient directions are obtained. To improve the RCS reduction, chessboard structure is used. By combining these 2 technological approaches, a wideband, polarization insensitive RCS reduction is designed, which can reflect the electromagnetic wave uniformly. Both numerical and measured results show that it enables to realize a 10 dB RCS reduction in a wideband from 8.5 to 13 GHz.

Direct Imaging of Isofrequency Contours of Guided Modes in Extremely Anisotropic All-Dielectric Metasurface
摘要： In this work, we investigate an all-dielectric metasurface based on the silicon on insulator platform for manipulating of guided modes in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges. We use the Fourier modal method to demonstrate numerically, that guided modes excited in the metasurface support both hyperbolic-like and elliptic dispersion regimes. We implement a back focal plane microscope combined with a high refractive index solid immersion lens to directly image the isofrequency contours of the guided modes (surface waves). Reconstruction of dispersion unambiguously reveals the transition between different dispersion regimes.

[Institution of Engineering and Technology 12th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2018) - London, UK (9-13 April 2018)] 12th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2018) - Broadband Linear Polarization Conversion Metasurface Based on Grounded Vias
摘要： An anisotropic high-impedance surfaces is applied to achieve perfect polarization rotation. Three multiple resonances are generated by electric and magnetic resonances which contributed to bandwidth expansion of the proposed polarization converter. The simulation results showed that maximum conversion ef?ciency is nearly 100% at mentioned three resonance frequencies. Here, 107 % bandwidth with polarization conversion ratio of above 90% is achieved. The proposed polarization conversion unit-cell is examined for oblique incidence, as well. It is observed that the bandwidth of the proposed unit-cell is not sensitive to the non-orthogonal incidence angles up to 40?. This observation veri?es applicability of proposed polarization rotator unit-cell.

Application of metasurfaces in the design of performance-enhanced low-profile antennas
摘要： This paper presents a review of metasurface-based antennas conducted at the Microwave Communication Laboratory (MCL) of Ajou University in the Republic of Korea. In this paper, pro?le miniaturization, bandwidth enhancement, multiband operation, and radiation pattern control of metasurface-based antennas are considered. The paper ?rst presents metasurface-based antennas implemented by placing various radiators on top of the metasurface. It then presents antennas implemented by placing the radiators below the metasurface with and without the ground plane. Metasurface-based antennas are not only able to achieve high ef?ciency with a low pro?le but they are also able to generate extra resonances from the metasurface structures, which signi?cantly enhances the overall performance of the antennas. These additional resonances were utilized in multiband and/or wideband operations. In addition, the design of a planar compact wide-gain-bandwidth metasurface-based antenna and its radiation characteristics are presented at a terahertz (THz) frequency range. The THz antennas were designed with metasurfaces and a planar leaky-wave feeding structure. Finally, the outlook on future research at the MCL for antenna-related work and their applications using metasurfaces is provided.

Reconfigurable metasurface lens based on graphene split ring resonators using Pancharatnam–Berry phase manipulation
摘要： A reconfigurable graphene based metasurface is presented to controllably focus a circularly polarized incident plane wave. The unit cell of the proposed metasurface consists of split ring resonators on both sides of a dielectric layer. The required phase shift for focusing purpose is achieved by concurrent rotation of the elements to obey to the Pancharatnam–Berry concept. Convergence/Divergence of the transmitted wave can be controlled by handedness of the impinging plane wave and direction of the elements’ rotation. The operating frequency of the designed lens and its focal length can be adjusted by properly exploiting to the unique property of graphene, i.e. by tuning its chemical potential.

Design of a Broadband Metasurface Luneburg Lens for Full-Angle Operation
摘要： We present a broadband metasurface Luneburg lens for full-angle operation. The design of the Luneburg lens is based on an inverted substrate parallel-plate-waveguide structure with nonuniform circular holes etched on the upper metallic plate. We show that this structure is superior to existing designs as it allows significant simplification of the fabrication process. To achieve a smooth variation of the effective refractive index profile as well as circular symmetry for the Luneburg lens, size-variable meta atoms are used for synthesizing the metasurface. The effective refractive index profile can be tuned by varying just the hole diameters. By introducing tapered microstrip ports that are evenly distributed on the circumference of the Luneburg lens, full-angle operation of the lens can be achieved. A prototype with a diameter of 400 mm is fabricated and experimentally evaluated at operating frequencies ranging from 6 GHz to 9 GHz. We show good conceptual agreement between simulated and experimental results.

Enhanced Second Harmonic Generation from Ferroelectric HfO <sub/>2</sub> -Based Hybrid Metasurfaces
摘要： Integrated nonlinear metasurfaces leading to high-efficiency optical second harmonic generation (SHG) are highly desirable for optical sensing, imaging, and quantum photonic systems. Compared to traditional metal-only metasurfaces, their hybrid counterparts, where a non-centrosymmetric nonlinear photonic material is incorporated in the near field of a metasurface, they can significantly boost SHG efficiency. However, it is difficult to integrate such devices on-chip due to material incompatibilities, thickness scaling challenges and the narrow band gaps of nonlinear optical materials. Here, we demonstrate significantly enhanced SHG in on-chip integrated metasurfaces by using nanometer thin films of ferroelectric Y:HfO2. This material has the merit of CMOS compatibility, ultra-violet transparency up to 250 nm and significant scalability down to sub 10 nm when deposited on silicon. We observe a twenty times magnitude enhancement of the SHG intensity from the hybrid metasurface compared to a bare ferroelectric HfO2 thin film. Moreover, a 3-fold SHG enhancement is observed from the hybrid metasurface compared to a control structure using non-ferroelectric HfO2, demonstrating a major contribution to the SHG signal from ferroelectric Y:HfO2. The effective second-order nonlinear optical coefficient χ(2) of Y:HfO2 is determined to be 6.0 ± 0.5 pm/V, which is comparable to other complex nonlinear photonic oxide materials. Our work provides a general pathway to build an efficient on-chip nanophotonic nonlinear light source for SHG using ferroelectric HfO2 thin films.
