Efficient Light Bending with Isotropic Metamaterial Huygens' Surfaces
Date of this Version
5-2014Abstract
Metamaterial Huygens' surfaces manipulate electromagnetic wavefronts without reflection. A broadband Huygens' surface that efficiently refracts normally incident light at the telecommunication wavelength of 1.5 mu m is reported. The electric and magnetic responses of the surface are independently controlled by cascading three patterned, metallic sheets with a subwavelength overall thickness of 430 nm. The peak efficiency of the device is significantly enhanced by reducing the polarization and reflection losses that are inherent to earlier single-layer designs.
