Reflection and refraction problems for metasurfaces related to Monge-Ampère equations
arXiv:1805.00722 · doi:10.1364/JOSAA.35.001523
Abstract
A metasurface is a surface, tipically a plane, on which a function called phase discontinuity is chosen so that the metasurface produces a desired reflection or refraction job. We derive the equations that the phase discontinuity function must satisfy, they are Monge-Ampère partial differential equations, and we prove existence of solutions.
