Abstract:
To study the asymmetric transmission characteristics of the chiral metasurface in the mid-infrared band, a chiral metasurface unit based on an L-shaped structure isdesigned.A simulation analysis using CST electromagnetic software reveals that the asymmetric transmission parameter is greater than 0.8 in the range of 68.92-88.68 THz and reaches the extreme value of 0.88 at 73.25 THz. It can be observedthat the structure exhibits good performance in terms of asymmetric transmission in the mid-infrared band.The polarization selective reflection and cross-polarization transmission mechanism of the chiral metasurface are clarified by analyzing the surface current distribution and phase distribution of the transmission field.The relationship between the chiral strength of the unit structure and the asymmetric transmission characteristics is also discussed.The influence of the thickness of the dielectric and metal layers and the incident angle of the electromagnetic wave on the asymmetric transmission characteristics is examined.
