Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the figures and the specific embodiments. The step numbers in the following embodiments are provided only for convenience of illustration, the order between the steps is not limited at all, and the execution order of each step in the embodiments can be adapted according to the understanding of those skilled in the art.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a phase-tunable metamaterial device, including a hole structure, a nanostructure, a package structure, and a filling material, which are periodically arranged, where the size of the nanostructure is matched with that of the hole structure, the nanostructure is movable in the hole structure, and the hole structure, the nanostructure, and the filling material, which are periodically arranged, are sealed in the package structure.
The filling material has the following characteristics: good fluidity, high transmittance and flowing into the fine pores.
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the pore structure and the nanostructures have the following characteristics: high transmissivity, good sealing performance and low abrasion.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the phase tunable metamaterial device has a structure in which a nanostructure capable of moving up and down is disposed in a hole structure, and a filling material is filled above the nanostructure to maintain one surface of the filling material in the same plane. Because one surface of the filling material is in the same plane, when the nano structure moves up and down, the other surface of the filling material can be filled into a space generated by the movement of the nano structure or the nano structure is arranged, so that the length distribution of the filling material is changed. The regulation and control process of the phase-adjustable metamaterial device is as follows: the incident direction of the light source is shown by an arrow in fig. 2, the incident direction of the light source is parallel to the nano structure and is emitted to the filling material from the nano structure; when the nanostructure moves according to the arrow in fig. 1, the length of the filling material above the nanostructure changes by Δ h, and the transmission phase of the metamaterial device changes along with the length of the filling material above the nanostructure.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a graph of the transmission phase and transmittance of a fill material as a function of the relative height of the fill material using visible light at a wavelength of 660 nm. As can be seen from fig. 3, when the relative height of the liquid material is changed from 0 micron to 1.65 microns, a 360 ° phase change can be brought to the visible light with a wavelength of 660 nm; at the same time, the transmission remains at a high level during the relatively high changes, always maintaining a transmission greater than 0.9.
The results of fig. 3 show that the phase-tunable metamaterial device in this embodiment has great potential application value in a phase-type transmission device. In addition, after the device is manufactured, the application value of the device can be greatly improved through variable phase distribution, for example, a super lens with a variable focal length is designed, a holographic metamaterial with a variable display picture is designed, a light steering device with a variable emergent light deflection angle is designed, and the like.
As can be seen from fig. 3, the structural size of the filling material is changed by stretching or compressing the space where the filling material is located, so as to adjust and control the transmission phase of the filling material. The present embodiment follows the relationship between transmission phase and structure size, and when the length of the unit structure changes, the transmission phase and the relative length are in a proportional linear relationship.
