Reciprocal plasmonic metasurfaces: Theory and applications

Optics 2020-05-05 v1 Applied Physics

Abstract

A new configuration for metasurface construction is presented to achieve multi-functional capabilities including perfect absorption, bio/chem sensing, and surface-mode lasing. The reciprocal plasmonic metasurfaces discussed here are composed of two plasmonic surfaces of reciprocal geometries separated by a dielectric spacer. Compared to conventional metasurfaces this simple geometry exhibits an enhanced optical performance. The discussed reciprocal metasurface design further enables effective structural optimization and allows for a simple and scalable fabrication. The physical principle and potential applications of the reciprocal plasmonic metasurfaces are demonstrated using numerical and analytical approaches.
