Abstract

Abstract Achromatic devices present unique capabilities in efficient manipulation of waves and have wide applications in imaging and communication systems. However, the research of achromatic devices is limited by the narrow bandwidth, low efficiency as well as large configurations. In this paper, we propose a general strategy to design spin-locked achromatic metasurface with broadband and high efficiency properties in microwave region. A multi-resonant model is used to control the dispersion within a wide bandwidth by tuning its resonant intensity, resonance numbers as well as resonant frequency. As a proof of the concept, two achromatic meta-devices with ultra-thin profile at microwave frequency are experimentally investigated. The achromatic deflector can reflect the normal incident waves to the same angle within 9.5 to 11.5 GHz, while the other achromatic lens can focus the excitations at the same focal points. The experimentally working efficiency of the meta-devices fluctuates around 71–82% and 57–65% within the target working bandwidth, respectively. Moreover, our meta-devices can preserve the charity of the excitations. The scheme of this research shows great advances in the design of broadband and high-efficiency achromatic devices which can also be applied to other frequency ranges and inspires the realization of ultrabroadband and high-efficiency metadevices.
