Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1103/physrevapplied.22.054028
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Electromagnetic wave polarization engineering with help from a pair of identical anisotropic metasurfaces of twisted optical axes, is introduced. Flawless linear polarization rotation and conversion to circular are demonstrated for lossless designs while symmetries between the responses of plasmonic and dielectric metasurfaces at different separating distances, are identified. The proposed concept expands the approach of twistronics in classical electrodynamics and reports optimal setups that can be directly utilized for polarization-controlled optical manipulation, holographic imaging, or angular-momentum multiplexing.
