Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of micro-nano optical technology, and in particular to an application and verification method of an antisymmetric chiral metasurface and phase amplitude regulation. Background Art
[0002] Chirality is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature. The chirality of a substance refers to a geometric feature of its structure, which means that it is impossible to overlap with its mirror image through translation or in-plane rotation operations.
[0003] At the same time, the polarization state characterizes the electric field oscillation of light in a plane perpendicular to the propagation direction. In circularly polarized light, the electric field vector can be decomposed into two linearly polarized components. The two perpendicular electric field vectors oscillate with a 90° phase shift and propagate along a spiral trajectory in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Due to the different spiral trajectories of the electric field vector, circularly polarized light can be divided into left-handed circularly polarized light (LCP) and right-handed circularly polarized light (RCP).
[0004] Chiral media show unique optical responses to LCP and RCP, but the interaction between chiral materials and chiral light fields in nature is very weak. In order to efficiently control chiral light fields and develop them into optical devices, the academic community has proposed and studied artificially designed chiral metamaterials. In recent years, a two-dimensional version has been developed, called chiral metasurfaces, which can achieve magneto-electric resonance coupling and excite chiral optical responses such as super-strong optical rotation and circular dichroism, and are then used in technical fields such as biochemical substance detection and circular polarization optical display.
[0005] From the perspective of light field control, chiral metasurfaces are one of the important ways to independently control orthogonal circularly polarized electromagnetic waves. Exploring electromagnetic theories with spin decoupling control of LCP and RCP wave components and developing corresponding metasurface devices has become one of the research hotspots in academia.
[0006] In the early days, the only independent phase control method for circularly polarized electromagnetic waves was the Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase, that is, when the unit structure rotates by an angle θ, an additional ±2θ phase is introduced into the cross-polarization component of its reflection or transmission, which is conjugated to LCP and RCP. Since the geometric phase has a fixed conjugated change in the phase response to LCP and RCP, this greatly limits the spin decoupling function of the metasurface.
[0007] In 2015, Professor Arbabi published in "Dielectric metasurfaces for complete control of phase and polarization with subwavelength spatial resolution and high transmission" the combination of polarization-space-dependent PB phase and parameter-space-dependent resonant phase. Through the joint design of the two types of phases, the independent phase control of LCP and RCP was realized for the first time, and a variety of wavefront designs were demonstrated. Subsequently, by introducing local interference of neighboring metaatoms, the scheme was extended to the phase and amplitude manipulation of arbitrary orthogonal polarization components. However, the above reports all consider non-chiral structures with mirror symmetry, and need to take into account both geometric phase and resonant phase design requirements.
[0008] In recent years, the chiral phase induced by azimuthal rotation and structural parameter adjustment of chiral meta-atoms has become a new method for the design of spin-decoupled metasurfaces. In 2020, Yuan et al. published in "Independent phase modulation for quadruplex polarization channels enabled by chirality-assisted geometric-phase metasurfaces" that introduced chirality-induced phases by using the relative azimuthal differences of multilayer metal resonators, and completed the circular polarization wavefront design of four channels in combination with the resonant phase; in 2021, Chen et al. proposed in "Metasurfaces with Planar Chiral Meta-Atoms for Spin Light Manipulation" that the use of all-dielectric meta-atoms with C2 symmetry combined with their geometric phases to control spin waves; in the same year, Song et al. reported in "Spin-Selective Full-Dimensional Manipulation of Optical Waves with Chiral Mirror" the topological phase induced by singularities in non-Hermitian chiral meta-atoms, and combined with the PB phase to achieve spin-decoupled wavefront control.
[0009] However, the above-mentioned circularly polarized electromagnetic wave control methods based on achiral or chiral meta-atoms still have room for improvement in terms of theoretical complexity, design difficulty, and computational complexity. Moreover, the combination of the resonant phase or chiral phase with the PB phase requires more theoretical description, and the analysis of the polarization space needs to be considered while exploring the parameter space. In addition, the differentiated control of the wave component amplitudes also shows great difficulty. Summary of the invention

[0018] An antisymmetric chiral metasurface is used for phase-amplitude control, which uses chiral phase and circular dichroism to jointly control the phase and amplitude of the reflected circularly polarized wave component.
[0019] A method for verifying the application of an antisymmetric chiral metasurface in phase amplitude control comprises the following steps:
[0020] S1. Establishing a simulation model: Determine the geometric parameters of the chiral metasurface, and then use electromagnetic simulation software to establish a three-dimensional model of the chiral metasurface, and define the incident wave as left-handed circularly polarized light or right-handed circularly polarized light, and set the operating frequency and boundary conditions, where the operating frequency is in the terahertz band;

[0024] Preferably, in step S1, the boundary conditions in the x and y directions are set to unit cell, the boundary condition in the z direction is set to open, and the polarization mode numbers of the maximum value Zmax of the electromagnetic simulation space and the minimum value Zmin of the electromagnetic simulation space are both set to 2;
[0025] In step S2, the first protrusion, the second protrusion and the third protrusion are scanned respectively from 0 um to 160 um with a step length of 2 um.
[0026] Preferably, in step S3, the calculation formula of the reflection amplitude is as follows:

[0039] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned antisymmetric chiral metasurface and the application and verification method of phase amplitude control, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0040] 1. High selective absorption rate: The chiral metasurface exhibits significantly different absorption characteristics for left-handed circularly polarized light (LCP) and right-handed circularly polarized light (RCP).

[0046] In summary, the present invention can selectively absorb one circularly polarized wave (such as LCP) efficiently under specific conditions, while maintaining a high reflectivity for another circularly polarized wave (such as RCP), thereby achieving more flexible and diverse electromagnetic wave manipulation functions, making it excellent in selective absorption, phase and amplitude regulation, and suitable for a variety of optical applications, especially in terahertz band applications. It has great potential.

[0082] In the formula, λ' represents the spatial wavelength; Γ represents the spatial period;
[0083] S44. Compare and verify the reflection angle θ of the left-handed circularly polarized light calculated by formula (3) with the result obtained in the reflection far-field pattern described in step S42 to confirm whether the final structure of the chiral metasurface has achieved the predetermined goal.
[0084] Simulation experiment
[0085] Based on the present invention, simulation experiments are carried out and the results are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown by Figure 2 (a) It can be seen that when h1 = 10um and h = 35um, it exhibits obvious circular dichroism, that is, it basically does not reflect LCP waves near the operating frequency, but has a high reflectivity to RCP. Figure 2 (b) It can be seen that near the extreme value of circular dichroism A mutation occurs, and the absorption rates of the chiral metasurface to LCP and RCP waves are 94.467% and 5.659% respectively. The chiral metasurface shows a huge absorption of LCP waves near the operating frequency of 0.35THz, and shows effective reflection of RCP waves in the range of 0.3THz-0.4THz. The reflection difference of the two circularly polarized components measured in a specific direction is defined as CD, and the CD value is as high as 0.899 at 0.3536THz. In addition, the chiral metasurface breaks the C2 symmetry, but due to the existence of the chiral phase, it can still be obtained from Figure 2 (b) and There are differences.
[0086] Depend on Figure 2(c) and (d) show that when h1 = 65um, h = 60um, it can be clearly observed that in the frequency range of 0.3THz to 0.4THz, the reflected co-polarized circularly polarized wave R LL and R RR The reflectivity curves of the chiral metasurface (reflectivity is equal to the square of the reflection coefficient) are basically the same. And in the frequency range of 0.3THz to 0.4THz, the reflection circular polarization phase and There is an obvious phase difference during the transmission process, and the phase can also be independently adjusted, so h1=65um and h=60um are taken.
[0087] Depend on Figure 2 (e) It can be seen that when h1=65um, h=60um, when the incident light beam is left-handed circularly polarized light, the first and third protrusions generate a strong electric field, the incident terahertz wave is stimulated to strongly resonate, the incident electromagnetic wave is converted into ohmic heat, and the terahertz wave enters the lossy polyimide layer and is trapped inside the medium. The signal is attenuated and absorbed, causing dielectric loss. The combination of metal loss and dielectric loss leads to the sensitivity of the chiral metasurface to LCP waves. Figure 2 (f) It can be seen that when the incident light beam is right-handed circularly polarized light, the right semicircular ring only has a weak electric dipole resonance at the port and basically does not absorb RCP, which indicates that the chiral metasurface can achieve efficient selective absorption.
[0088] Depend on Figure 3 (a) and (b) show that by changing the structural parameters Basically, it can achieve a phase coverage of 2π, and present an approximate angular phase gradient in the parameter space. Only a slight phase change of less than π is produced, and the change is approximately linear in the direction of increasing h1. This shows that it is possible to achieve differential phase control of the two circular polarization components.
[0089] Depend on Figure 3 (c) and (d) show that R RR The high amplitude is maintained throughout the parameter space, while R LL There are large amplitude changes in some areas. Therefore, the phase and amplitude of LCP and RCP can be controlled by adjusting the structural parameters and chirality of the chiral metasurface.
[0090] Depend on Figure 3 (e) and (f) show that the reflected beam is almost not deflected when the RCP wave is incident. When the LCP wave is incident, the phase change interval is 90°, and the space size required for one phase cycle is 4P. At the same time, substituting the structural parameters into formula (3) can obtain a reflection angle of 29.4°, which is obtained by Figure 3(e) The read reflection angle is 30° and the error is within an acceptable range, thus proving the effectiveness of the present invention.
[0091] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.

Set the deflection angle of left-handed circularly polarized light to 30°, and select four superatoms in the parameter space so that A linear phase gradient is formed at intervals of 90°, and the The chiral metasurface with spin-selective deflection is obtained. S42, simulating the reflection far-field pattern of the chiral metasurface with spin-selective deflection under the incidence of left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light, and obtaining the control effect of the chiral metasurface on the left-handed circularly polarized light and the right-handed circularly polarized light; S43. In the case of left-handed circularly polarized light incident on the chiral metasurface, the parameters of the final structure are substituted into the following formula to calculate the reflection angle θ of the left-handed circularly polarized light: θ=sin -1 (λ' / Γ) (3); In the formula, λ' represents the spatial wavelength; Γ represents the spatial period; S44. Compare and verify the reflection angle θ of the left-handed circularly polarized light calculated by formula (3) with the result obtained in the reflection far-field pattern described in step S42 to confirm whether the final structure of the chiral metasurface has achieved the predetermined goal.
