The Way

Plasmonic metasurfaces have been employed for moulding the flow of transmitted and reflected light, thereby enabling numerous applications that benefit from their ultra-thin sub-wavelength format. Their appeal is further enhanced by the incorporation of active electro-optic elements, paving the way for dynamic control of light's properties. In this paper, we realize a dynamic polarization state generator using a graphene-integrated anisotropic metasurface (GIAM) that converts the linear polarization of the incident light into an elliptical one. This is accomplished by using an anisotropic metasurface with two principal polarization axes, one of which possesses a Fano-type resonance. A gate-controlled single-layer graphene integrated with the metasurface was employed as an electro-optic element controlling the phase and intensity of light polarized along the resonant axis of the GIAM. When the incident light is polarized at an angle to the resonant axis of the metasurface, the ellipticity of the reflected light can be dynamically controlled by the application of a gate voltage. Thus accomplished dynamic polarization control is experimentally demonstrated and characterized by measuring the Stokes polarization parameters. Large changes of the ellipticity and the tilt angle of the polarization ellipse are observed. Our measurements show that the tilt angle can be changed from positive values through zero to negative values while keeping the ellipticity constant, potentially paving the way to rapid ellipsometry and other characterization techniques requiring fast polarization shifting. This article is part of the themed issue ‘New horizons for nanophotonics’.

Theory Of Superconductivity

The theory developed in II is extended to cover the case of a superconductor, and a formula is derived relating the r. f. resistivity to the superconducting penetration depth and other parameters of the metal. It is shown how the penetration depth may be deduced directly from measurements of the skin reactance, and a method of measuring reactance is described, based essentially on the variation of the velocity of propagation along a transmission line due to the reactance of the conductors. For technical reasons it is not convenient to measure the reactance absolutely, but a simple extension of the technique described in I enables the change in reactance to be accurately measured when superconductivity is destroyed by a magnetic field. The method has been applied to mercury and tin. In the former case the results are in agreement with Shoenberg’s direct measurements, and confirm that the penetration depth at 0° K is of the order of 7 x 10 –6 cm. The theory developed at the beginning of the paper is used to deduce the variation of penetration depth with temperature from the resistivity measurements of I, and it is shown that agreement with other determinations and with the reactance measurements is fairly good, but not perfect. Some of the assumptions used in developing the theory are critically discussed, and a qualitative account is given to show how Heisenberg’s theory of superconductivity offers an explanation of some of the salient features of superconductivity and inparticular indicates the relation between superconducting and normal electrons.
