研究目的
Investigating the design and functionality of electrically tunable amplitude and phase modulators based on the hybridization of indium tin oxide (ITO) into a guided-mode resonance mirror (GMRM) for dynamic phase and amplitude modulation in the reflection mode.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the successful design of ITO-integrated GMRM unit cells for dynamic phase and amplitude modulation, achieving high modulation depth and phase variation with relatively high reflection amplitude. The design offers a promising approach for reconfigurable metasurfaces with individual control over subwavelength unit cells.
研究不足
The study is limited by the voltage range (-15 V to +24 V) to avoid breakdown of the HAOL gate-dielectric and zero-crossing of Si permittivity, which may cause high absorption. The design's functionality is polarization-dependent, requiring incident light polarization perpendicular to the Si nanograting.
