Optical metamaterial for polarization control
Abstract
We present the design, characterization, and modeling of a specific optical metamaterial, and employ it to manipulate the light polarizations at optical frequencies. Experimental results reveal that the maximum polarization conversion efficiency, i.e., the energy portion converted from $s$ to $p$ polarization after reflection, can be as high as 96% at the wavelength of $\ensuremath{\sim}685\text{ }\text{nm}$. Simulations and analytical results, which are in reasonable agreements with the experimental results, reveal that the underlying physics are governed by the particular electric and magnetic resonances in the optical metamaterial.

Transmission through a space-variant metalstripe metasurface results in part of the incident light being redirected (diffracted), similar to blazed gratings.
“Particularly, early work has considered transmission through a space-variant metalstripe metasurface[11, 12], which results in part of the incident light being redirected (i.e., diffracted), similar to the functionality of blazed gratings[13].”

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.
