    • 摘要: 本文提出了一种基于相变材料Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST)的圆二色性可调谐外在手征超表面,该超表面由两层对称的银(Ag)方形开口谐振环和GST中间层单元周期排列而成。结合斜入射光线,该超表面能实现与手征结构相同的电磁特性。数值模拟结果表明:该超表面在50 THz~300 THz的频率范围内,GST为非晶态时,圆二色性(CD)值最大为0.85;GST为晶态时,CD值最大为0.52。当GST在两种相态(非晶态-晶态)之间切换时,实现了70 THz左右的频率调谐。通过研究电场分布,解释了圆二色性产生的原因;还研究了入射角和结构参数对该超表面圆二色性的影响。这项研究在光频段高效偏振调制器件、圆偏振器和偏振滤光器等方面有潜在的应用价值。

       

      Abstract: We propose a metasurface with tunable circular dichroism extrinsic chiral based on the phase change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST). The metasurface is composed of two symmetrical square silver split ring resonators and a GST intermediate layer arranged periodically. Combined with the oblique incident light, this metasurface is capable of achieving electromagnetic properties similar to that of the chiral structure. Numerical simulation results show that in the frequency range of 50 THz~300 THz, the maximum circular dichroism (CD) of the metasurface is 0.85 in the amorphous state of GST and 0.52 in the crystalline state of GST. When the GST switches between two states (amorphous-crystalline), a tunable frequency of about 70 THz is achieved. Compared with the reported works, the CD of this metasurface is larger and the tuning range is wider. By studying the electric field distribution, the origin of the circular dichroism is explained; and the effects of incidence angles and structural parameters on the CD of this metasurface are investigated. This research will have potential applications in efficient polarization modulation devices, circular polarizers, and polarization filters in the optical frequency band.
