Figure 3. The designing and simulationd results of beam deflection and polarization conversion with a deflection angle.

Figure 3

(a, c, e, g) The designing and simulation results of the beam deflection: (a) The third metasurface of beam deflection is only made up of “period 1”. (c) The phase-delayed distributions of three periods along x direction for both x- and y-polarized reflected waves (Φ3x(x) and Φ3y(x)), in which solid black line is calculationd result and discrete pentacles are simulation results of actual structures. (e) The electric-field distributions of x-polarized reflection waves deflected to (ϕ3x = 0, θ3x = 24°). (g) The electric-field distributions of y-polarized reflection waves deflected to (ϕ3y = 0, θ3y = 24°), whose reflection phase is the same with that of x-polarized waves. (b, d, f, h) The designing and the simulation results of the linear-to-circular polarization conversion with a deflection angle: (b) The third metasurface of beam deflection is also only made of “period 1”. (d) The phase-delayed distributions of three periods along x direction for both x- and y-polarized reflection waves (Φ4x(x) and Φ4y(x)), in which solid black line and dashed blue line are calculation results and discrete pentacles and dots are simulation results of actual structures. (f) The electric-field distributions of x-polarized reflection waves deflected to (ϕ4x = 0, θ4x = 24°). (h) The electric-field distributions of y-polarized reflection waves deflected to (ϕ4y = 0, θ4y = 24°), whose reflection phase is 90° ahead compared to y-polarized waves.
