摘要
We propose an anisotropic homogeneous metamaterial flat plate having multiple functionalities under different polarizations of incident waves. From the theoretical analysis based on Maxwell's equations, we demonstrate that a single one-dimensional anisotropic metamaterial slab with the tailored constitutive parameters serves as a bandpass filter, a transparent wall, and a polarization converter under illuminations of differently polarized waves. We present a special structural unit to realize the tailored constitutive parameter tensors of the anisotropic metamaterial from which a three-dimensional metamaterial flat plate is designed and fabricated. The measured results agree very well to theoretical calculations and full-wave simulations, demonstrating the excellent performance of the polarization-controlled multiple functionalities of the single metamaterial plate.
