Abstract

The invention relates to a depolarizer based on a meta-material. The depolarizer comprises a plurality of parallel sheet layers, wherein each sheet layer is provided with a flaky substrate and a plurality of artificial microstructures attached to the flaky substrate; each flaky substrate is partitioned into a plurality of same unit bodies; each unit body and the artificial microstructure thereon constitute a cell with an anisotropic electromagnetic property; and at least two cells with unparallel optical axes are arranged in each sheet layer. According to the depolarizer based on the meta-material disclosed by the invention, at least two cells with unparallel optical axes are arranged in each sheet layer, and the polarization characteristics of at least a part of electromagnetic waves with single polarization characteristics passing through the meta-material are changed, so that the aim of depolarizing is fulfilled; and moreover, compared with the prior art, the depolarizer has the advantages of simple structure and easiness for realizing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of metamaterials, in particular to a depolarizer based on metamaterials. Background technique [0002] The polarization of electromagnetic waves refers to the characteristic of the field vector (electric field, magnetic field) changing with time at a fixed position in space. The polarization of a wave is usually described by the trajectory of the end of the electric field strength E vector as a function of time. The polarization mode of the wave can be judged by the amplitude and phase relationship between the two orthogonal components of the electric field component of the electromagnetic wave. If the E vector vibrates in only one direction within one period, it is called a linearly polarized wave; if the trajectory of the endpoint of the E vector is an ellipse (or circle), it is called an elliptical (or circular) polarized wave. [0003] In some applications (such as electromagnetic shielding), depolarization is r...
