Abstract:
Huygens’ metasurfaces are highly transparent arrays of nanostructures that enable phase front manipulation. This is achieved by simultaneous excitation of electric dipole (ED) and magnetic dipole (MD) resonances with equal amplitudes and phases in the constituent meta-atoms. In usual designs, the size changes of the meta-atoms, necessary to map the phase front, can detune the overlapping of ED and MD resonances, decreasing the transmission and limiting the operating bandwidth. In this report, we demonstrate that ED and MD resonances can be almost perfectly tuned together over a large wavelength range, keeping their spectral overlap, in a Silicon metasurface by using anisotropic meta-atoms. In particular, we show near-unity transmission (>95% in simulations) and 2π phase control in a wavelength range from 760nm to 815nm using cuboidal nanoantennas. Using this concept, we also experimentally demonstrate clear reconstruction from holograms of a single metasurface spanning the near infrared and the whole visible spectral range.
