Abstract

In order to produce novel wave-control effects with metasurfaces, the fields must satisfy generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTC). The abstract zero-thickness of such penetrable sheets is generally incompatible with commercial full-wave solvers (FWSs), precluding the use of the latter to validate conceptual achievements related to GSTC. This is overcome by thick 'Fabry-Perot' metasurfaces (FP-MS) which consist of parallel plate waveguides containing dielectric layers. Such GSTC-derived concepts as perfect anomalous reflection and beam-splitting have been verified thus far using the thick FP-MS structure in FWSs; herein, we extend the concept to accomplish perfect anomalous reflection. This seamless emulation of GSTCs in FWS, which includes intricate functionalities, can be instrumental for successful development of new MS capabilities in the future.
