Rayleigh Hypothesis

Abstract We design metasurfaces based on silicon films with smooth relief described by several Fourier harmonics and study their ability to redirect the refracted light over a wide angular range controlled by subtle variations of the optical setup. We use semi-analytical approach based on the Rayleigh hypothesis as well as full-scale numerical solutions to optimize the relief shape. To illustrate the reconfigurability potential, we design metasurfaces efficiently redirecting the refracted light from 83° to −73° with respect to the normal, when the angle of incidence is varied from 0° to 2°, and from 80° to −74°, when the substrate permittivity is altered from 2.3 to 2.2.
