Multiphysics metamirrors for simultaneous manipulations of acoustic and electromagnetic waves
arXiv:2002.00989 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.14.014076
Abstract
Metasurfaces have shown unprecedented possibilities for wavefront manipulation of waves. The research efforts have been focused on the development of metasurfaces that perform a specific functionality for waves of one physical nature, for example, for electromagnetic waves. In this work, we propose the use of power-flow conformal metamirrors for creation of multiphysics devices which can simultaneously control waves of different nature. In particular, we introduce metasurface devices which perform specified operations on both electromagnetic and acoustic waves at the same time. Using a purely analytical model based on surface impedances, we introduce metasurfaces that perform the same functionality for electromagnetic and acoustic waves and, even more challenging, different functionalities for electromagnetics and acoustics. We provide realistic topologies for practical implementations of proposed metasurfaces and confirm the results with numerical simulations.
