英文摘要： Metasurfaces are a class of artificial electromagnetic surfaces with extraordinary physical properties produced by special structural designs, which have formed a frontier research field in nanophotonics nowadays. Based on the research progress of our previous work, this project plans to perform an in-depth and systematic study on the near-field and far-field modulation properties and functional applications of a type of optical metasurfaces that are based on the chiral interaction between optical field and the nanostructured surfaces. The main research topics and the key scientific issues to be dealt with in this project are as follows. We study the principle and methods of modulating the phase and amplitude of optical field independently or simultaneously by using the metasurfaces, by which to realize the complete modulation of the complex amplitude of optical field. We study the multiplexing techniques of the metasurfaces, including the multiplexing of wavelength, polarization, space, and the vectorial optical beams such as vortex beams with different optical angular momentums. By studying light emission devices based on metasurfaces, fractal and multiscale chiral metasurfaces, and the real-time modulation of metasurface pixels, we aim to better understand the interaction between metasurfaces and the vectorial optical field, by which to develop more intelligent and active functional devices. By exploring some schemes such as the enhancement of polarization conversion by resonances, the design of impedance-matching structures, and the compensation of energy loss by using gain media, we aim to find out effective methods to improve the energy utilization efficiency in metasurfaces. Furthermore, we study the near-field properties of metasurfaces, by which to develop new functional applications such as the devices for characterizing vortex beams with specific topological charges.
