These artificial subwavelength surfaces mimic the physics of conventional materials and can, in principle, be designed to provide novel optical material properties. Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) antenna metasurfaces are among the most widely used as ideal absorbers and emitters. In this work, we present MIM metasurfaces in the mid-infrared that comply in the electric and magnetic forms of Babinet’s, Lorentz’s, and Kirchhoff’s principles. To verify the validity of Babinet's, Lorentz's, and Kirchhoff's MIM metasurfaces, we computed their reflection and absorption spectra as well as electric and magnetic field maps. We found that even in the presence of graphene on top of the electric and magnetic MIM metasurfaces, these principles still hold qualitatively. However, the excitation of gap surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and graphene SPPs fails to comply quantitatively. Additionally, we fabricated the MIM metasurfaces and used imaging Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the mid infrared spectrum to validate them. Finally, we explore the potentials and limits of the use of graphene as tunability material, with a tunability bandwidth up to 0.6 µm. Our findings can be applied to the development of electric and magnetic frequency selectivity metasurfaces, polarizers, coherent thermal sources, and detectors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49699,"journal":{"name":"Photonics and Nanostructures-Fundamentals and Applications","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101256"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140167675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This concept is further combined with digitated plasmonic nano-antennas that permits to enhance the light-matter interaction.

While the chip-scale spectrometers are widely investigated using silicon photonics technology, few research have addressed the need for a mid-infrared (MIR) integrated chip-scale spectrometer due to the lack of an effective reconfigurable photonics approach. In this paper, we present a novel solution using silicon photonics MEMS technology in the MIR region (3.6–5 µm wavelength range). We adopt a computational spectrometry scheme using the digitalized control of cascaded MEMS-tunable waveguide couplers. The MEMS waveguide couplers are operated in digital on/off mode, thus making the device immune to driving voltage fluctuations and robust for on-chip field sensing applications. Moreover, a comprehensive numerical analysis method is discussed to systematically evaluate the performance of the computational spectrometer, including its resolution and operational bandwidth. As a proof-of-concept, a chip-scale spectrometer realized by seven cascaded MEMS-actuated waveguide coupler is demonstrated. The sparse spectral reconstruction is demonstrated in the wavelength range from 3.65 to 4.1 µm and the dual-peaks reconstruction results indicate a resolution of 8 nm. Besides, response time and power consumption of the proposed device are experimentally characterized. Benefitting from good scalability, the spectral resolution can be further improved by increasing the number of waveguide coupler stages. The proposed work has the potential to realize lab-on-a-chip applications with advances in MIR silicon photonics. © 2001 Elsevier Science.
