High efficiency and large angle polarization independent beam deflection metagrating by Bayesian optimization

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Directional emission sources are required in wide application scenarios such as 3D displays and optical communication. The integration of beam deflection metasurfaces on emission devices can construct a compact directional emission source. However, most reported metasurfaces and metagratings focus on the deflection of linear polarized light with relatively small angles(< 30 degrees), which limits their further application for unpolarized light sources. In this work, a nanorod-based two-dimensional metagrating is proposed for a polarization independent incident beam with a large deflection angle ranging from 30 degrees to 75 degrees, and a maximum beam deflection efficiency of 90.1%. An efficient global optimization method based on Bayesian optimization is developed for the design of metagrating and demonstrates a faster converge speed and a better beam deflection performance compared with traditional particle swarm optimization. The proposed metagrating and optimization method also provides useful guidance for the design of polarization independent functional meta-devices.
