Low loss metasurfaces based on quantized meta-atom
Abstract
Metasurfaces have been proposed as a new paradigm to manipulate light and improve light-matter interactions. Conventional metasurfaces are restricted to the loss of materials, limiting their performance ceiling. Here, the loss of metallic metasurfaces is reduced to the level of dielectric metasurfaces by quantizing the meta-atom, and a coupling model is proposed to interpret the loss reduction. The theoretical results are in excellent agreement with the finite-element method simulation results. This phenomenon is also reproduced in dielectric and second-quantized meta-atom metasurfaces. There is reason to believe that this is something new in the resonance field, and this work will shed new light on the designs and applications of metasurfaces. It will also pave theory support to other resonance fields beyond metasurfaces.
