Here, we develop a completely dual-frequency decoupled strategy in single meta-atom for independent phase and amplitude control by combining propagation with geometric phases. As a proof of concept, the bi-functionalities of multifocal shaping with uniform amplitude at two different frequencies have been experimentally demonstrated. This scheme may pave a new route for multi-mode detection, communication and imaging applications.","PeriodicalId":143802,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116026146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
