Popis: In this paper, a frequency coding all-dielectric metasurface is proposed, which are achieved by simultaneously encoding dielectric unit cells with phase and frequency phase sensitivity information. The frequency phase sensitivity refers to the derivative of phase over working frequency band, which can be used to shape the phase distribution varying as desired by changing the frequency. A variety of tunable, high efficiency and versatile electromagnetic (EM) energy radiations can be realized in a dielectric coding metasurface without changing the coding distribution map and introducing any active devices. As proofs of concept, it has been demonstrated theoretically and numerically that the distinct functionalities are accomplished for the normal incidences of plane EM waves, including frequency controls of multibeam generation, anomalous deflection, vortex beam generation, and diffuse scattering. This work may be utilized in many application scenarios, such as 5G wireless communications and high quality of holograms.
