Abstract
Chiral metasurfaces have a wide range of applications in ultrathin circular polarizers, optical sensing and other chiral regulation research. However, simultaneous broadband, high circular dichroism (CD) and linear dichroism (LD) remains a challenge. In this paper, an all-dielectric metasurface based on phase change material Ge2Sb2Se4Te1 (GSST) working in the mid-infrared (MIR) band is designed to achieve broadband and tunable high CD and LD, which consists of a single-layer tilted elliptical hole-shaped structure. Simulation results show that when GSST is changed from crystalline state to amorphous state, CD band (CD > 0.8) is shifted from 3476 nm - 3634 nm to 2138 nm - 2153 nm, realizing a blueshift of 1500 nm, and LD band (LD < -0.4) is shifted from 4295 nm - 4517 nm to 3383 nm - 3547 nm, realizing a blueshift of 900 nm. The chiral response of the designed metasurface is revealed through the analysis of electromagnetic field distributions and multipole decomposition under the incidence of different polarized light. This work has potential applications in the future MIR optical integrated system with tunable devices.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
