This invention relates to a reconfigurable metasurface for dynamically controlling the topological characteristics of electromagnetic polaritons. The invention comprises a basic functional unit combined with a varactor
diode periodically extended in a two-dimensional plane. The basic functional unit includes a single-layer
dielectric, two
layers of
metal, and metallized vias. By changing the applied bias
voltage, reconfigurable topological transmission of the
polariton dispersion topology can be achieved, from open ellipses to straight lines, hyperbolas, and circles. Utilizing the
wavefront characteristics under different dispersion topologies,
broadband field channelization, dynamic focusing, and reconfigurable
polariton circuit design can be realized. This invention further improves the flexibility of
surface wave propagation and guidance manipulation, possessing advantages such as low dimensionality, continuous
controllability, and high-speed response. It is beneficial for the integration of electromagnetic components in modern near-field
information processing systems, the design of photonic integrated circuits and multifunctional programmable
plasmon polariton devices, and has broad application prospects in near-field sensing, positioning, high-resolution imaging, and energy reuse.
