  • 近年来, 基于超表面的完美吸波体成为了各国学者的研究热点. 其中圆极化波的旋向选择吸波体更是在手性传感器和卫星通讯等领域有着广泛的应用. 为此, 本文提出了一种基于方形开口环结构超表面的圆极化波的旋向选择吸波体. 该吸波器能够吸收入射的右旋圆极化波, 而完全反射左旋圆极化波. 首先从理论上分析产生旋向选择吸波的理论条件, 然后在该理论的指导下设计出了符合条件的超表面单元. 该单元由金属-介质板-金属三层构成, 顶层是改进后的方形开口环金属结构, 中间层是FR4介质板, 底层是全金属板. 对超表面单元进行数值仿真, 仿真结果表明, 该单元在7.2 GHz处可以选择性吸收右旋圆极化波而反射左旋圆极化波, 并且保持圆极化波的旋向不改变. 右旋圆极化波的吸波率达到了90%以上, 而左旋圆极化波的吸波率低于19%. 该方法不仅适用于微波段, 而且可以被推广到更高频段, 有望在卫星通讯领域得到广泛应用.

     

    In recent years, due to their features nonexistent in natural matirials, the perfect absorbers based on metasurfaces have become a hot research point. Although great progress has been made, the absorbers with spin-selection are rarely reported. However, the absorbers with spin-selection have more widespread applications in chiral sensors and satellite communication. Therefore, a spin-selection absorber based on the metasurface with modified square split-ring structure is proposed. Firstly, the theoretical conditions for generating the spin-selection absorption are analyzed theoretically, and then the qualified metasurface unit cell is designed under the guidance of the theory. We design an asymmetric modified square split-ring resonator to break both the n-fold (n>2) rotational symmetry and mirror symmetry. The unit cell is composed of three layers, i.e. the top layer, which is a modified square split-ring, the middle layer, which is an FR4 dielectric plate with a thickness of 4 mm, and the bottom layer, which is an all-metal plate acting as the reflecting incident wave. In order to obtain the optimal performance, the designed meta-atom is optimized by CST Microwave Studio, a well-known commercial full wave simulation software.The numerical simulation results show that the unit cell can selectively absorb the right-handed circularly polarized waves and reflect left-handed circularly polarized waves at 7.2 GHz. A maximum absorption rate for the absorption of right-handed circularly polarized (RCP) waves reaches a value higher than 90%, while the absorption rate of the other spin state is kept lower than 19%. In addition, to meet the need of practical applications, the absorption performance is also further investigated under different oblique incident angles, with the wave vectors confined in the x-z plane and y-z plane, respectively. Finally, to further understand the mechanism of spin-selection absorber, the surface current distributions are also simulated for LCP and RCP wave, respectively. The different surface current distributions are obtained for incident LCP and RCP wave, which is a solid evidence for spin-selection absorption. This paper offers a reference for the generation of spin-selection absorber. The proposed method not only is suitable for microwave region, but also can be extended to higher frequencies, and hopefully it can be widely used in the field of communication.
