Huygens’ metasurfaces via the equivalence principle: design and applications
Abstract
We review the current trends in the design of Huygens’ metasurfaces (HMSs), which are planar arrays of balanced electric and magnetic polarizable particles (meta-atoms) of subwavelength size. We focus on schemes that follow the equivalence principle, as these can be rigorously incorporated into Maxwell’s equations, leading to design specifications in the form of (electric and magnetic) surface-impedance distributions. The advantages of this approach with respect to the more common phase-shift stipulation approach are highlighted and discussed. We present a (microscopic) methodology to associate a general meta-atom configuration with an equivalent surface impedance, and derive metasurface (macroscopic) design procedures for various beam forming applications. The methods and concepts developed in the paper provide the basic tools for understanding and designing scalar, passive, and lossless HMSs, and we indicate possible extensions applicable to more complex structures.

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.
