abstract: A novel integration strategy of microstrip antenna and metasurface is proposed to achieve low radar cross section (RCS) and improved radiation performance simultaneously. Aimed at the applications in stealth cylindrical carrier, the antenna has a circular configuration, and the metasurface cells are closely arranged around the radiation patch in a concentric ring type manner. Moreover, the mode analysis method is fully used to analyze the antenna's working mechanism and guide the optimization process. Owing to the addition of metallic vias, the original quasi TM30 mode is altered to three series TM10 modes and thus enhanced gain is achieved. Interestingly, the addition of vias also generates a new resonance which widen the antenna's impedance bandwidth. In another aspect, both in band and out of band RCS reductions are obtained simultaneously. Finally, two prototypes are fabricated to validate the proposed design strategy. Good agreements between measurements and simulations are obtained. Measured results show that the gain of the proposed antenna is at least 3 dB higher than the conventional antenna in the entire operating band, and obvious RCS reduction is achieved from 4.0 to 8.5 GHz concurrently.

abstract: We perform a comprehensive analysis of multiband absorption properties in a metal dielectric metal dielectric (MDMD) nanostructure under TM wave illumination. The multiband absorption can be attributed to the hybridization of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and the guide mode resonance (GMR) and we identify the hybrid GMR/SPR by the dispersion relation equations of the SPR and GMR, respectively. More importantly, the MDMD nanostructure is very sensitive to the change of the dielectric environment for the special hybrid structure; thus, it can function as a good candidate for ultrasensitive biochemical sensing. The highest sensitivity of the MDMD nanostructure reaches 1087 nm/RIU with the figure of merit (FoM) of 23 and the new figure of merit (FoM* of 483; it is performed by the absorption peak at 1796.1 nm of the double surface plasmon polariton with the strongest field enhancement at the surface.

abstract: Abstract We report an ultra narrowband absorber with a dielectric dielectric metal (DDM) tri layer structure which is composed of a dielectric grating as the top layer, a dielectric spacer and a metal substrate. The simulation results show that, we can get an ultra narrowband absorber with the absorption bandwidth less than 0.05 nm and the absorption rate more than 0.99 within an ultra narrow angle for TE polarization (electric field is parallel to grating grooves) The results also show that the ultra narrowband absorption for TE polarization is originated from guide mode resonance and low power loss in the metal substrate. This ultra narrowband absorber is a good candidate for application in coherent emission of light by thermal source.

abstract: Colorimetric detection of target molecules with insensitivity to incident light polarization has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This resulted from the ability to provide rapid output and reduced assay times as a result of color changes upon altering the environment that are easily distinguishable by the naked eye. In this paper, we propose a highly sensitive refractive index sensor, utilizing the excitation of guided modes of a novel two dimensional periodically modulated dielectric grating waveguide structure. The optimized nanosensor can numerically excite guided mode resonances with an ultranarrow linewidth (full width at half maximum) of 0.58 nm. Sensitivity is numerically investigated by considering the deposition of dielectric layers on the structure. For a layer thickness of 30 nm, the maximum sensitivity reached as high as 110 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) resulting in a very high figure of merit of 190.

abstract: A wideband multi mode low profile cavity backed metasurface antenna is proposed. The metasurface is composed of mushroom cells which support the propagation of both surface wave and composite right/left handed (CRLH) guided wave. By combining multi mode resonances of the cavity backed metasurface, including the first negative resonance on the left handed dispersion branch, zeroth order resonance, the first positive resonance on the right handed dispersion branch, and the transverse electric (TE) surface wave resonance, the proposed antenna achieves a bandwidth of 44.7% from 4.67 GHz to 7.36 GHz for reflection coefficient less than 10 dB and boresight radiation with realized gain ranging from 6.7 dBi to 9.9 dBi. The cavity backed metasurface has a low profile of 3.25 mm, or 0.05$\lambda$ at the lowest operating frequency.

abstract: We investigate Fano resonances and sensing enhancements in a simple Au/TiO2 hybrid metasurface through the finite different time domain (FDTD) simulation and coupled mode theory (CMT) analysis. The results show that the Fano resonance in the proposed simple metasurface is caused by the destructive interaction between the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and the local surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) the quality factor and dephasing time for the Fano resonance can be effectively tuned by the thickness of Au and TiO2 structures, the length of each unit in x and y directions, as well as the structural defect. In particular, single Fano resonance splits into multiple Fano resonances caused by a stub shaped defect, and multiple Fano resonances can be tuned by the size and position of the stub shaped defect. Moreover, we also find that the sensitivity in the Au/TiO2 hybrid metasurface with the stub shaped defect can reach up to 330 nm/RIU and 535 nm/RIU at the Fano resonance 1 and Fano resonance 2, which is more than three times as sensitive in the Au/TiO2 hybrid metasurface without the stub shaped defect, and also higher than that in the TiO2 metasurface reported before. These results may provide further understanding of Fano resonances and guidance for designing ultra high sensitive refractive index sensors.

abstract: We present the study based on rigorous coupled wave analysis and the S matrix method to evaluate guide mode resonance characteristics in the visible range of periodic subwavelength structure fabricated by holographic lithography. This structure consists of a single one dimensional grating dry etched in a diamond like carbon film on fused silica substrate. It is shown that reflection spectra of such structure have single peak at normal incidence and two peaks at oblique incidence. Peak positions strongly depend on the grating period and thickness of the waveguide layer. Moreover, the simulation results show that the shift of the second peak in the spectral reflectance is less sensitive to the change of certain structural parameters and is more sensitive to the change of the refractive index of the surrounding medium. It is shown that the simulation results can be employed for the interpretation of optical response obtained from guide mode resonance optical sensors.

abstract: We experimentally and numerically investigate the multiple types of resonance modes that occur in a metal dielectric metal (MDM) fishnet metasurface, including magnetic plasmon polaritons, localized surface plasmon resonance, and surface plasmon polariton Bloch waves in the visible spectral range. The parametric dependences of the multiple resonant wavelengths are all carefully analyzed by varying the gap layer thickness, the period and the neck length of the fishnet structure. Using our knowledge of the geometric parameter dependences, we demonstrate the feasibility of shaping the transmission spectrum of the MDM fishnet metasurface based on control of the light polarization. Numerical simulations are performed and their results coincide perfectly with the experimental results, which indicate that the magnetic mode is more easily tunable than the other modes. Our research will be useful in the design of MDM fishnet structures for specific applications at visible frequencies, including color filters, sensors, color light emitting devices, and laser sources.

abstract: A two layer guide mode resonance structure made of shallow gratings deposited on the Kerr active guiding layer is used to realize high quality Fano resonance and step like transmission. The step like transmission is designed to work between the perfect transmission peak and the dip of the asymmetrical Fano spectrum. It is demonstrated that the steep transition in the transmission should be attributed to the strong field localization in cases of both high and low transmission states.
