We present our latest work and investigation of exceptional point in plasmonic nanostructures. We show that the non-Hermitian singularity can be effectively deployed in small scale sensors and pave the path for engineering metamaterials with novel properties.
We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a new method to engineer ultra-high efficiency and linear polarization achromatic meta-lens from visible to telecommunication wavelength: 660 nm to 1200 nm with 90 % efficiency. Our proposed method is a promising approach for broadband structured interfaces. This new design surpasses the current state of the art of metalens which is mainly focus on circular polarization with limited bandwidth and efficiency.
We demonstrate a method to hide a Gaussian-shaped bump on a ground plane from an incoming plane wave. In essence, we use a graded metasurface to shape the wavefronts like those of a flat ground plane[1,2].The metasurface provides additional phase to the electromagnetic field to control the reflection angle. To mimic a flat ground plane, the reflection angle is chosen to be equal to the incident angle. The desired phase distribution is calculated based on generalized Snell’s laws[3]. We design our metasurface in the microwave range using sub-wavelength dielectric resonators. We verify the design by full-wave time-domain simulations and show that the result matches our theory well. This approach can be applied to hide any object on a ground plane not only at microwave frequencies but also at higher frequencies up to the infrared.
