We combine theory and experiment to demonstrate that a carefully designed gradient meta-surface supports high-efficiency anomalous reflections for near-infrared light following the generalized Snell's law, reflected wave becomes bounded surface as incident angle exceeds critical value. Compared previously fabricated meta-surfaces in infrared regime, our samples work shorter wavelength regime with broad bandwidth (750-900 nm), exhibit much higher conversion efficiency (∼80%) reflection mode...

In our design, each sub-layer behaving as effective waveguide is gradually modified in their lateral width to realize a wideband response by effectively stitching together the resonance bands different modes. Experimentally, five layer sample with total thickness 21 μm...

Modulating the phase of electromagnetic waves has many applications in photonic research. A new mechanism allows a thin graphene metasurface to reliably achieve an extremely large modulation THz radiation.
Photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE; i.e., spin‐polarized photons can be laterally separated in transportation) gains increasing attention from both science and technology, but available mechanisms either require bulky systems or exhibit very low efficiencies. Here it is demonstrated that a giant PSHE with ≈100% efficiency realized at certain meta‐surfaces deep‐subwavelength thicknesses. Based on rigorous Jones matrix analysis, general criterion to design realize 100%‐efficiency established. The...

Our system is much thinner than conventional geometric-optics devices and does not suffer the energy-loss issues encountered by many metamaterial working transmission designed realistic microwave samples performed near-field scanning experiments verify focusing effect. Experimental results are good agreement full simulations, model...
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and their low-frequency counterparts (i.e., spoof SPPs on artificial surfaces) have recently found numerous applications in photonics, but traditional devices to excite them (such as gratings prism couplers) all suffer from problems of inherent low efficiency because the generated can decouple, returning free space, reflections at device surface never be avoided. Here, we propose a new SPP excitation scheme based transparent gradient metasurface numerically...
Metasurfaces in metal/insulator/metal configuration have recently been widely used photonics research, with applications ranging from perfect absorption to phase modulation, but why and when such structures can realize what kind of functionalities are not yet fully understood.

Metasurfaces offer great opportunities to control light, but so far most ``metadevices'' work either in pure reflection or transmission mode, leaving half of electromagnetic (EM) space untapped. Thus the authors design meta-atoms with polarization-dependent and properties, efficiently manipulate EM waves mode. They fabricate three ultrathin devices multiple functionalities very high efficiencies on both sides. These findings significantly expand capabilities metasurfaces for more demanding...
Electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption plays a vital role in photonics. While metasurfaces are proposed to absorb EM waves efficiently, most of them exhibit limited bandwidth and fixed functionalities. Here, we propose broadband tunable terahertz (THz) absorber based on graphene-based metasurface, which is constructed by single layer closely patterned graphene concentric double rings metallic mirror separated an ultrathin SiO2 layer. Plasmonic hybridization between two significantly enlarges...
Dynamically controlling terahertz (THz) wavefronts in a designable fashion is highly desired practice. However, available methods working at microwave frequencies do not work well the THz regime due to lacking suitable tunable elements with submicrometer sizes. Here, instead of locally individual meta-atoms metasurface, we show that rotating different layers (each exhibiting particular phase profile) cascaded metadevice speeds can dynamically change effective Jones-matrix property whole...
