Parametric metasurfaces for electromagnetic wave amplification
arXiv:2308.11208 · doi:10.1364/OME.515132
Abstract
We study parametric amplification of electromagnetic waves using metasurfaces. We design a variable capacitor-loaded metasurface that can amplify incident electromagnetic waves. We analyze various regimes of operation of the system and find that we can achieve a significant gain (over 10 dB) in just one layer of such a structure, and this gain can be controlled by parametric modulation. We study the instability threshold for this system and show that a simple theoretical model agrees well with the results of full numerical simulations.
