Figure 1. The schematic of birefingent reflective metasurface and its anisotropic unit cell.

Figure 1

(a) The schematic of metasurface, which can be composed of only “period 1” or the combination of both “period 1” and “period 2”. (b) The front view of the anisotropic unit cell, which is composed of two orthogonal I-shaped structures. (c) The side view of the anisotropic unit cell, which shows that the metal-grounded plane and the I-shaped structures are spaced by a dielectric isolator. (d) The phase responses of the anisotropic unit cell, which show that the reflection phase of Ex (see blue dashed line) will not be affected by the length changing of ly but the reflection phase of Ey (see black solid line) is decreased gradually from 130° to −200° when ly is increased from 2 mm to 5 mm.
