General case of the overall phase modulation through a dielectric PB-phase metasurface

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a simple model, a combination of effective medium theory and the Jones matrix, to analyze the optical properties of a dielectric PB-phase metasurface with an arbitrary incident polarization state. The optical properties, such as the polarization conversion efficiency spectrum, rotation-angle-dependent phase modulation, and phasor diagram, shows a fair agreement with the finite difference time domain method results. This model provides a fast and sufficient accuracy compared to the time-consuming finite element methods. Moreover, the shortness of the proposed model is also discussed.
