Abstract Phase gradient metagratings (PGMs) have provided unprecedented opportunities for wavefront manipulation. However, this approach suffers from fundamental limits on conversion efficiency; in some cases, higher order diffraction caused by the periodicity can be observed distinctly, while working mechanism still is not fully understood, especially refractive-type metagratings. Here we show, analytically and experimentally, a metagrating which enable anomalous reflection refraction with...

A simple core-shell two-dimensional photonic crystal is studied where the triangle lattice symmetry and $C_{6v}$ rotation leads to rich physics in study of accidental degeneracy's bands. We systematically evaluate different types nodal points, depending on dispersions around them their topological properties, when geometry permittivity are continuously changed. These points can be critical states lying between a phase normal thus important for states. In time-reversal systems, this quantum...

We show that by adjusting the geometric sizes and material properties of defects, total reflection, even can be obtained, despite impedance mismatch free space. Our work greatly simplify design zero-index applications removing dependence on permeability.

Semi-Dirac cones, characterized by linear-parabolic dispersions, endow photonic crystals with many fascinating properties, such as topological transitions and anisotropic electromagnetic responses. While most preceding investigations concentrated on two-dimensional systems, our exploration of three-dimensional comprising a cubic lattice core-shell spheroids unveils unusual dispersions in systems---dual semi-Dirac cones.

Abstract Light reflection and refraction at an interface between two homogeneous media is analytically described by Snell's law. For a beam with finite waist, it turns out that the reflected wave experiences lateral displacement from its position predicted geometric optics.

Inspired by the concept of parity-time symmetry, we propose a new waveguide system consisting zero index metamaterials with an air gap. Based on analytical calculations and numerical simulations, demonstrate that there are two exceptional points in such system, which can induce unidirectional transparency. However, introduced gap could effectively manipulate property PT symmetry. In particular, coherent perfect absorber-laser modes be excited broken phase, if specific phase difference is...

Phase-gradient metasurfaces (PGMs) provide remarkable control over the propagation of light.

Geometrical symmetry plays a significant role in implementing robust, symmetry-protected, bound states the continuum (BICs). However, this benefit is only theoretical many cases since fabricated samples' unavoidable imperfections may easily break stringent geometrical requirements. Here we propose an approach by introducing concept of geometrical-symmetry-free but symmetry-protected BICs, realized using static-like environment induced zero-index metamaterial (ZIM). We find that robust BICs...

Optical phase gradient metasurfaces (PGMs) have provided unprecedented opportunities for arbitrarily controlling wave propagation via the generalized Snell's law (GSL). However, whole picture of diffraction therein has not been clearly presented, particularly incident angles beyond critical angle. Although a parity-dependent effect was found in acoustic metagratings, little is known about whether this holds true typical optical PGMs. Here we demonstrate universality by employing some PGMs...
