Angle-dependent phase reversal through deep-subwavelength dislocation in hyperbolic metamaterials

Abstract

In this communication, we show that phase-shifted transmission can be achieved through the deep-subwavelength dislocation in hyperbolic metamaterials. Based on the analysis using Fourier modal method, we show that the regime of 'phase reversal' exists for the oblique incidence which has the tangential wavevector anti-parallel to the direction of dislocation. © 2015 IEEE.
