研究目的
Investigating the capability of ultra-thin metasurfaces with phase change materials (PCMs) to independently manipulate wavefronts in different states of PCMs for applications in information encryption and optical communications.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that ultra-thin metasurfaces with GST-structured diatomic elements can independently and arbitrarily manipulate wavefronts in the amorphous and crystalline states of PCMs with high efficiency. This approach eliminates the need for complex integrated circuits and offers potential applications in information encryption and optical communications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need for global switching of GST phase state, which may not allow for localized control. Additionally, the fabrication process requires precise control over the dimensions of the GST-structured nano?ns.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs ultra-thin metasurfaces composed of GST-structured diatomic elements to achieve independent wavefront manipulation in the amorphous and crystalline states of PCMs.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples are designed using GST-based diatomic elements with specific geometrical parameters.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study uses GST (Ge2Sb2Te5) as the phase change material, gold (Au) for the top layer, and magnesium fluoride (MgF2) for protection against oxidation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The wavefront manipulation is achieved by designing elements that provide immutable geometric phase and variable waveguide propagation phase (WPP), allowing for arbitrary wavefront control in both states of GST.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The performance is evaluated through simulations using finite element method (FEM) in CST Microwave Studio, focusing on cross-polarized coefficients and phase spectra.
