Chiral All-Dielectric Metasurface Based on Elliptic Resonators with Circular Dichroism Behavior

Abstract EN

We present the design of a new microwave all-dielectric chiral metasurface with circular dichroism behavior based on elliptic dielectric resonators (EDRs).

During the design procedure, we have first optimized numerically the effects of the main design parameters such as the resonator’s size and orientation, as well as the size of the slot within them, on the metasurface transmission over the frequency band 10–20 GHz.

Measurements on the final metasurface prototype have shown a large circular dichroism (Δ=0.61 and Δ=0.5) over two bands (17.55–17.61 GHz and 17.91–18.05 GHz) with ellipticities close to 45° which means that the developed device can be used as a circular polarization filter and circular polarizer at microwave frequencies.
