High‐Efficiency Dielectric Huygens’ Surfaces
Open accessAbstract
Optical metasurfaces have developed as a breakthrough concept for advanced wave‐front engineering enabled by subwavelength resonant nanostructures. However, reflection and/or absorption losses as well as low polarization‐conversion efficiencies pose a fundamental obstacle for achieving high transmission efficiencies that are required for practical applications. Here, for the first time to our knowledge, highly efficient all‐dielectric metasurfaces are demonstrated for NIR frequencies using arrays of silicon nanodisks as metaatoms. The main features of Huygens' sources are employed, namely, spectrally overlapping crossed electric and magnetic dipole resonances of equal strength, to demonstrate Huygens' surfaces with full transmission‐phase coverage of 360° and near‐unity transmission. Full‐phase coverage combined with high efficiency in transmission are experimentally confirmed. Based on these key properties, all‐dielectric Huygens' metasurfaces can become a new paradigm for flat optical devices, including beam‐steering, beam‐shaping, and focusing, as well as holography and dispersion control.

Properly designed arrays of high-dielectric particles ought to be able to exhibit the same functionality, with an additional benefit of potentially higher efficiencies due to negligible Ohmic losses in the particles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
