Abstract

Polarization conversion of electromagnetic waves transmitted through multilayer nanoresonators, including a main homogeneous layer made of a transparent uniaxial dielectric sandwiched between epsilon-near-zero and metallic spacer layers, has been analytically modeled. The numerical analysis, based on exact solutions of electromagnetic boundary problems, confirms opportunities to use such multilayers as utracompact polarization converters (in particular, zero-order quarter and half waveplates) of a new type. The proposed systems are characterized by much wider ranges of parameters and significantly reduced (nanometric) thicknesses in comparison with the conventional waveplates. The operation regimes, resulting from the features of amplification of proper wave phase differences under multibeam interference conditions, are considered. The concept can be realized for both metamaterial-dielectric-metamaterial and metal-dielectric-metal structures and used for the development of ultrathin, large area, and simple in fabrication polarization devices for photonic applications.
