Abstract

Metasurfaces offer unprecedented possibilities for developing versatile ultracompact photonic devices with unique functions, e.g., for linear- or circular-polarized light beam steering. Here we report a three-dimensional (3D) chiral metasurface for phase controlling and beam steering, which consists of periodically arranged double-layer circular arc chiral nanostructures. By tuning the central angle of the lower circular arc, the left- and right-circularly polarized light (LCP and RCP) induce different spatial phases, which have been designed as a beam steering device to realize the abnormal reflection of LCP and the mirror reflection of RCP in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum from 900 nm to 1150 nm, providing a potential device for chiral molecule detection.
