IA 100 1 (57) : Various embodiments may provide a polarization device for polarizing electromagnetic waves. The polarization device may include a stacked arrangement including a medium and an anti-reflection coating in contact with the medium. The polarization device may also include a periodic array of polarization elements in contact with the medium. The polarization device may be configured to, based on an electric response and a magnetic re - sponse of the periodic array of the polarization elements, transmit first polar- ized electromagnetic waves having a first polarization and reflect second po - medium 102 larized electromagnetic waves having a second polarization upon receiving the electromagnetic waves. periodic array \ 104 anti-reflection coating \ 1-1 1-1 GC kr) 106 1-1 Cr) 1-1 ---- IN L 1-1 0 ei O WO 2017/131581 Al 1#11101M01101DEIRMEDEMIOMOIEM11111011111110110111111 Published: — with international search report (Art. 21(3))
