Plasmonic metamaterial wave retarders in reflection by orthogonally oriented detuned electrical dipoles

Abstract

We demonstrate that a pair of perpendicular electrical dipolar scatterers resonating at different frequencies can be used as a metamaterial unit cell to construct a nanometer-thin retarder in reflection, designing nanocross and nanobrick plasmonic configurations to function as reflecting quarter-wave plates at ~1520 and 770 nm, respectively. The design is corroborated experimentally with a monolayer of gold nanobricks, transforming linearly polarized incident radiation into circularly polarized radiation at ~780 nm.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Circularly polarized light of opposite handedness will by symmetry considerations always experience geometrically induced phase gradients of opposite sign, meaning that the two orthogonal polarization states are split when reflected by the metasurface.

    “Furthermore, it is important to notice that circularly polarized light of opposite handedness will by symmetry considerations always experience geometrically-induced phase gradients of opposite sign, meaning that the two orthogonal polarization states are split when reflected by the metasurface[14].”
  • By combining a metalstripe metasurface with a linear polarizer and performing two successive measurements, or by Fourier transforming the transmitted near-field when a quarter-wave plate is placed in front of the metasurface, it is possible to determine the Stokes parameters.

    “For example, by combining the metasurface with a linear polarizer and performing two successive measurements[11, 14] or, alternatively, by Fourier transforming the transmitted near-field when a quater-wave plate is placed in front of the metasurface [12], it is possible to determine the Stokes parameters.”

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.
