These detectors typically use only a single type of plasmon cavity, but previous studies of metasurface absorbers has shown that combining multiple cavities in a single subwavelength period can generate complex photoresponses such as multi-band and broadband absorption. In this report, we use a simple square cavity design as a building block for demonstrating detectors with a broadened photoresponse. Device performance of simple square detectors is comparable to previous highdetectivity designs, and by using a patchwork of square cavities within a single subwavelength period, we can subsequently broaden photoresponse by 1.5 times. Absorption in these patchwork cavity detectors shows good agreement with previous reports for metasurface absorbers, and suggests that this design and fabrication process could serve as a roadmap for integrating detectors and metasurface cavities with more complex photoresponses.","PeriodicalId":260995,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fourteenth International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena (Metamaterials)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122891383","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}

The designed metasurface achieves phase conjugation, by heterodyning (mixing) an incident RF signal with a pump (modulation) signal at twice the frequency of the incident RF signal. Frequency mixing is achieved through the use of fast switching Schottky diodes. The unit cell of the metasurface is composed of a subwavelength metallic patch that is aperture coupled to the heterodyning circuit. Metasurfaces offer a low-profile alternative to retrodirective antenna arrays. Such metasurfaces could play a key role in far-field wireless power transfer systems.","PeriodicalId":260995,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fourteenth International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena (Metamaterials)","volume":"16 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133811398","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}
