One-Way Hyperbolic Metasurfaces Based on Synthetic Motion

Abstract
Moving metasurfaces support guided waves exhibiting unusual optical properties, including strong anisotropy, nonreciprocity, and hyperbolic dispersion. However, for these phenomena to be noticeable, high speeds are typically required, challenging their practical implementation. Here, we show a viable route towards the realization of one-way hyperbolic propagation in metasurfaces placed synthetically in motion through traveling-wave space-time modulation. In addition to non-reciprocal hyperbolic propagation, the proposed time-modulation scheme induces additional exotic opportunities for nanophotonic systems, such as efficient nonreciprocal frequency conversion and mode transfer.
