Abstract

In this talk we show how to break the angular symmetry of electromagnetic response of thin absorbers. Based on our recent results on multichannel metasurfaces, we propose a new concept of asymmetric absorbers in which the absorption coefficient for waves impinging from a given oblique angle is extraordinarily different from that for waves incident from the oppositely tilted direction. The proposed asymmetric structure realizes controllable reflectance (from 0 to 0.99) for waves incident from one direction, exhibiting total absorption when the sign of the incidence angle is reversed. We provide a theoretical analysis for the asymmetric absorber as well as a numerical verification.
