Tailoring Reflections From Thin Composite Metamirrors
TLDR
In this article, an effective route to fully control the phase of plane waves reflected from electrically (optically) thin composite sheets was proposed, which is possible using engineered artificial full-reflection layers (metamirrors) formed by arrays of electrically small resonant bi-anisotropic particles.Abstract:
We propose an effective route to fully control the phase of plane waves reflected from electrically (optically) thin composite sheets. This becomes possible using engineered artificial full-reflection layers (metamirrors) formed by arrays of electrically small resonant bi-anisotropic particles. In this scenario, fully reflecting mirrors do not contain any continuous ground plane, but only arrays of small particles. Bi-anisotropic omega coupling is required to get asymmetric response in reflection phase for plane waves incident from the opposite sides of the composite mirror. It is shown that with this concept one can independently tailor the phase of electromagnetic waves reflected from both sides of the mirror array.read more
