Perfect anomalous reflection using compound metallic metagratings
arXiv:1912.09139 · doi:10.1364/OE.393137
Abstract
Metagrating is a new concept for wavefront manipulation that, unlike phase gradient metasurfaces, does not suffer from low efficiency and also has a less complicated fabrication process. In this paper, a compound metallic grating (a periodic structure with more than one slit in each period) is proposed for anomalous reflection. The electromagnetic response of this grating is analyzed by a proposed analytical method and then a closed-form and analytical expressions are presented for the reflection coefficients of the higher diffracted orders. The proposed method is verified by full-wave simulations and the results are in excellent agreement. Thanks to the geometrical asymmetry of compound metallic grating, we use it for designing anomalous reflection in the normal incident. Given analytical expressions for reflection coefficients, a perfect anomalous reflector is designed via transferring all the incident power to (-1) diffraction order. The structure designed in this study has an unprecedented near-to-unitary efficiency of 99.9%. Finally, a multi-element compound metallic grating is proposed for reflecting the normal incident to angles of below 30, which is a challenging accomplishment. This excellent performance of compound metallic grating shows its high potential for microwave and terahertz wave-front manipulation applications.
