Abstract
- Amplitude-phase control for circular polarized (CP) waves is experiencing a research upsurge in electromagnetics owing to the kaleidoscopic electromagnetic responses and promising application prospects of circular polarizations, and chiral metasurfaces are more facile to achieve a series of intriguing chiral phenomena than natural materials. However, it is difficult for most existing chiral metasurfaces to independently tailor the amplitude and phase of left-handed circular polarized and right-handed circular polarized waves at the same frequency as they suffer the drawbacks of large thickness, multiple layers, and complex structure. Herein, an innovative strategy of single-layer achiral metasurfaces of thickness 0.13λ <subscript>0</subscript> is proposed to independently and simultaneously manipulate the amplitude and phase of orthogonal CP waves. As a proof of concept, an amplitude and phase controlled dual-channel meta-hologram is designed to reconstruct diverse images with high fidelity under orthogonal CP illumination, and the simulated and experimental results collectively validate the availability of our methodology. Significantly, the meta-hologram is also applicable to full polarization states according to the decomposition of electromagnetic waves. The inspiring design of single-layer achiral metasurfaces provides a simple and effective approach to explore chiral effects, and they possess enormous application potential in multitudinous microwave devices.
