Angular-tunable on-chip coding metasurface enabled by phase-change material with immersion liquid
Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the designed tunable coding metasurface:(a)illustration of the tunable coding metasurface's structural configuration(When the phase-change material,GSST,is in the amorphous state,the deflection angle varies in response to the presence or absence of CH2I2 liquid in the etched hole);(b)phase distribution in the xy-plane without or with CH2I2 liquid in the etched hole,showcasing the tunability of the metasurface
Fig. 2. Metaatom configuration and its tunable characteristics across different phase-change states:(a)schematic illustration of the metaatom with parameters H = 2 μm,P = 1 μm,W ranging from 0 to 1 μm,and L from 0 to 10 μm;(b)four states of the tunable coding metasurface;transmittance and phase shift of amorphous state GSST coding metaatoms when the etched hole is without(c)or with(d)CH2I2 liquid;transmittance and phase shift of crystalline state GSST coding metaatoms when the etched hole is without(e)or with(f)CH2I2 liquid. This highlights the tunable properties of the coding metaatoms in response to different phase-change conditions
Fig. 3. Deflection function of the tunable coding metasurface:(a)simulated far-field scattering pattern of the etched hole with(blue line)or without(red line)CH2I2 liquid at a wavelength of 5.2 μm when GSST is in the amorphous state;For comparison,the scattering pattern of GSST in the crystalline state is also presented in(b);Phase distribution in the xy-plane with the etched hole containing(c)or lacking(e)CH2I2 liquid in the amorphous state of GSST. Phase distribution in the xy-plane with the etched hole containing(d)or lacking(f)CH2I2 liquid in the crystalline state of GSST. These results illustrate the deflection characteristics of the tunable coding metasurface under different conditions
Fig. 4. Refractive index changes of CH2I2 liquid. Simulated far-field scattering patterns of amorphous state GSST(a~d)and crystalline state GSST(e~h)at refractive indices of the liquid:1.4,1.6,1.9,and 2.0,respectively. These results demonstrate the influence of varying refractive indices of CH2I2 liquid on the scattering patterns in both amorphous and crystalline states of GSST
Fig. 5. Broadband tunable coding metasurface. Simulated far-field scattering patterns of the etched hole without liquid(a~d)or with liquid(e~h)in the amorphous state of GSST. Wavelengths considered are 5 μm,5.5 μm,5.7 μm,and 6 μm,respectively. These simulations showcase the broadband tunability of the coding metasurface,highlighting the scattering patterns at different wavelengths
