Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology has attracted much attention from researchers. Devices based on it have been widely designed and applied in various fields, such as sensing, detection, the analysis of biomolecules, and so on. We invite researchers to submit their contributions to this Special Issue, which aims to present original research and review papers that include the design and application of plasmon-based devices.. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Infrared detectors.
  • Enhanced absorption based on plasmons.
  • Ultrathin dielectric metasurfaces.
  • Efficient regulation of light waves.
  • Metalens.
  • Perfect absorbers.
  • Sensors based on SPR.
  • Small-sized and lightweight devices.
  • Integrated flat optical components.
  • Novel sensing and detection devices.
  • Integration, chip-based device of SPR.
  • Multiplexing SPR sensors.
  • Functional metasurface.
  • Micro- and nanophotonics.
  • Wavefront manipulation of light.
  • Metasurface holography.

Beam splitters are widely applied in various optical systems as a common beam-splitting device. The conventional stereoscopic and flat-type beam splitters greatly limit the packaging and integration of optical systems due to their large size and restricted emitting direction. Recently, beam-splitting devices made of various transmissive or reflective metasurfaces have shown the potential to overcome these challenges. However, in optical systems such as machine vision, these single-ended beam splitters increase the design complexity of the signal feedback link due to the limitation of the beam-splitting path direction. Here, we proposed and numerically simulated a transflective all-dielectric metasurface beam splitter by applying incompletely transmissive structural designs to the metasurface and using the transmission phase modulation mechanism. It can realize the beam separation for arbitrarily polarized incident light on the same side of the normal at both transmissive and reflective ends with a single-layer unit cell arrangement structure and has a similar emergence angle. The results reveal that at 1550 nm, the angular tolerance bandwidth is about 32°, the total splitting efficiency is over 90%, and the splitting ratio is approximately 1:1. After comparison and verification of simulation results, this transflective metasurface beam splitter is hopeful to be applied in new compact optical systems that require real-time signal feedback, such as coaxial light sources and photoelectric sensing.
