Abstract

Most of the compelling phenomena pertaining to plasmonic metamaterials revolve around the associated odd and even order resonances. However, excitation of odd and even order modes is polarization sensitive, particularly in the case of well-accepted split-ring resonator based terahertz (THz) plasmonic metasurfaces. Such a drawback limits the practical applications of plasmonic metasurfaces across the electromagnetic spectrum. In this context, we experimentally demonstrate multi-split-ring resonator based THz metasurfaces capable of simultaneously sustaining odd and even order resonances when the polarization of the probe beam is altered through 90°. We believe this work should be beneficial in realizing polarization-independent switches and frequency selective surfaces.
