Simultaneous Realization of Anomalous Reflection and Transmission at Two Frequencies using Bi-functional Metasurfaces

The capability to manipulating electromagnetic (EM) waves at the sub-wavelength scale has been enabled by metamaterials and their two-dimensional counterparts, metasurfaces. Especially, integrating two or more diverse functionalities into a single metasurface-based device is of great significance to meet the stringent requirements imposed by today’s high frequency components and systems. Here, we present a dual-band bi-functional metasurface structure that could simultaneously achieve anomalous reflection and transmission at two terahertz (THz) frequencies, respectively, under linearly-polarized incident waves. To demonstrate the property of the proposed metasurface, a number of dual-band bi-functional metasurface-based components that could tailor the reflected and transmitted waves simultaneously are designed and verified numerically. Moreover, it is shown that both the amplitude and phase responses of the reflected and transmitted waves at two operating frequency bands (wavelengths) can be manipulated using the proposed metasurface, providing a new and convenient way to construct multi-functional metasurfaces and corresponding electromagnetic devices.
