摘要: 基于结构化的金属表面，即超构表面，所获得的表面波最近得到了广泛关注。它们在各种不同的频率下在集成光学回路、成像以及生物检测中都有着良好的应用前景。本文中，我们展示了一种由双各向异性超构材料单元构成的超构表面可以支持多种不同偏振模式的表面态。这个结构拥有D2d点群对称性，包括了在xz和yz面内拥有镜面对称，以及在y = ±x方向上拥有C2旋转对称性。基于这种对称性，这个超构表面可以在kx和ky方向上支持横电模（TE）以及横磁模（TM）的同时支持在ky = ±kx方向上的纯纵模以及椭偏的横电磁模（TEM）。这种超构表面上的多种表面模式可能会产生新的表面波现象以及器件应用。Abstract: Surface waves supported by structured metallic surfaces, i.e.metasurfaces, have drawn wide attention recently.They are promising for various applications ranging from integrated photonic circuits to imaging and bio-sensing in various frequency regimes. In this work, we show that surface states with diverse polarization configurations can be supported by a metasurface consisting of a single layer of bianisotropic metamaterial elements.The structure possesses D2d symmetry, which includes mirror symmetry in the xz and yz plane, and C2 rotational symmetry along y = ±x axis. Due to this unique symmetry, the metasuface supports both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves along kx and ky directions, while a purely longitudinal mode and an elliptically polarized transverse electromagnetic(TEM) mode along ky = ±kx directions. The versatility of the surface modes on the metasurface may lead to new surface wave phenomena and device applications.

Figure 1. (a) The schematic of the single-layer metasurface. Every unit cell consists of a saddle-shaped metallic inclusion possessing D2d point symmetry embedded in the dielectric substrate whose relative permittivity is 2.2. The period of the metasurface along kx or ky is p. (b) The band structure of the metasurface. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd bands and light cone are plotted in yellow, red, blue and green, respectively. (c) The dispersions of the surface modes along ky=0 direction. The modes along this direction corresponding to the 1st and 2nd bands can be regarded as electric plasmon and magnetic plasmon, respectively. (d) The dispersions of the surface modes along ky=kx direction. The modes along this direction for the 1st and 2nd bands can be regarded as transverse mode (elliptically polarized) and longitudinal mode, respectively
图 2 沿着x方向传播的表面等离子体激元的场分布。场分布所在截面的位置在最左边的结构单元示意图中标出；(a, b)在图1(c)中第1个模式上的点①处E和H分布；(c, d)在图1(c)中第2个模式上的点②处E和H分布。点①和②处的kx等于π/2p，p是沿x和y方向的结构周期
Figure 2. Field distributions of surface plasmon modes propagating along x direction. On the left, the schematic of the unit cell illustrating the plane in which the fields are plotted is shown. (a, b) The E and H field distributions for point ① on 1st mode in Fig. 1(c). (c, d) The E and H fields for point ② on 2nd mode. kx of point ① and ② is fixed at π/2p, where p is the period along x and y directions
图 3 沿kx=ky方向的表面等离子体激元模式的场分布。(a, b)图1(d)中第1个模式在点③处(kx=ky = π/2p)的场分布。仿真得到的在垂直传播方向的面上的E (a)和H (b)场分布，截面位置显示在上方示意图中。在两个图中，总体的场分布都在面内，证明了这是一个横电磁模。(c, d)图1(d)中第2个模式在点④处(kx=ky = π/2p)的场分布。仿真得到的在垂直传播方向的面上的E (c)和H (d)场分布，截面位置显示在上方示意图中。在两个图中，总体的场分布都指向面外（沿着传播方向），证明了这是一个同时拥有电场和磁场的纵模。(e-h)图1(d)中非常接近M点的⑤和⑥处的穿过结构单元中心的xy截面处的场分布，(e, f)分别代表了点⑤处的E和H场分布；(g, h)分别代表了点⑥处的E和H场分布。通过一个面内关于结构单元中心的90°旋转以及z方向上的镜面对称操作，这两个模式之间可以进行互相转换
Figure 3. Field distributions of surface plasmon modes propagating along kx=ky direction. (a, b) Field distributions of 1st mode at point ③ (kx=ky = π/2p) in Fig. 1(d). The simulated E (a) and H (b) field distributions in the plane perpendicular to the propagation direction, corresponding to the cutting plane shown in the schematic above. In both plots, the overall field distribution lie in the plane, indicating that this is a TEM mode. (c, d) Field distributions of 2nd mode at point ④ (kx=ky = π/2p) in Fig. 1(d). The simulated E (c) and H (d) field distributions in the plane perpendicular to the propagation direction, corresponding to the cutting plane shown in the schematic above. In both plots, the overall field distributions are out of plane (along the propagation direction), indicating that this is a pure longitudinal mode with both longitudinal components of E and H fields. (e-h) Field distributions of points ⑤ and ⑥ in Fig. 1(d), closing to the M point (phase advance is 170°), for a horizontal xy plane cutting through the center of the unit cell, as indicated by the schematic above. (e, f) correspond to the E and H field distributions of point ⑤, and (g, h) correspond to E and H field distributions of point ⑥. It is observed that the two modes are related to each other through an in-plane rotation of 90° about the center of the unit cell, followed by a mirror symmetry in z direction
