Metasurface for polarization and phase manipulation of the electromagnetic wave simultaneously

Metamaterials has inspired many novel physical mechanism and applications for the past decades. In these cases, the thickness of metamaterial is a must to achieve the unique electromagnetic response, which will definitely result in bulky structures and the accompanying loss, especially in microwave region. In this paper, our efforts in planar metasurface are reviewed with emphasis on manipulation of the phase and polarization state of electromagnetic wave. The latest results show that by introducing magnetic resonance between the layers of the metasurface, the polarization state and the phase of the incident wave can be fully controlled by the metasurface with a relatively high efficiency.
