摘要: Dispersion engineering of metamaterials is critical yet not fully released in applications where broadband and multispectral responses are desirable. Here we propose a strategy to circumvent the bandwidth limitation by implementing two-dimensional dispersion meta-atoms. Lorentzian resonances exploited as building blocks both dimensions dedicatedly designed meta-atoms construct expected dispersion. We validated this designing fabricating an anisotropic metamirror, which can accomplish achromatic polarization transformation 4-octave (two times previous converters). This work only paves way for design but also inspire potential management nano-photonics.
