Abstract

Aiming at the problems of low efficiency, single function and complex structure of the existing dichroic metamirrors, the actively tunable linear and circular dichroic metamirrors based on single-layer graphene are proposed in this study. The designed metamirrors are mainly composed of the ion-gel, patterned graphene, polyimide, polysilicon and gold substrates. The anisotropy of the achiral structures can be used to realize circular dichroism (0.8) and linear dichroism (0.9) in two directions at the same time without functional switching. Additionally, the incidence angle of electromagnetic waves, rather than the structural chirality, is used to create the exceptionally strong dichroism. The proposed metamirrors not only increase the integration, but also reduce the angular dispersion and complexity of the structure. What's more, by changing the Fermi level of graphene, the CD function of the metamirrors can be tuned in the range of 0 - 0.8, and the LD function can be tuned in the range of 0.22 - 0.9. The designed metamirrors can achieve dual functions under a wide range of incident angles, and can be widely used in various fields such as terahertz imaging, biological detection, optical sensing, and spectrometry.
