Abstract
A kind of bi-reflective anisotropic metasurface has been proposed, which can ma-
nipulate the polarization states of the electromagnetic waves independently. The bi-reflective
anisotropic metastufaces are made up of two mutually perpendicular I-shaped structures, which
have capacities to control the vertical and horizontal polarizations by using each of I-shaped
structures, respectively. Two typical devices of such reflective anisotropic metasurfaces have
been proposed: polarization converters and polarization beam splitters. Polarization converters
are designed by using homogenous anisotropic metasurfaces with thickness of λ0 /10, which can
transform a linearly polarized incident wave into a circularly polarized wave in a broad frequency
band. Polarization beam splitters are designed by using gradient anisotropic metasurfaces with
thickness of λ0 /15, which can manipulate the vertical and horizontal polarizations to different
directions independently. The full-wave simulated results of polarization converters and polar-
ization beam splitters are calculated by using of CST, and good polarization conversion and
splitting are clearly observed, which verify the capacities of such reflective anisotropic metasur-
faces to manipulate the polarization states of electromagnetic waves.
