| Popis: | In this paper we suggest a simple analytical method for description of electromagnetic properties of a geometrically regular two-dimensional subwavelength arrays (metasurfaces) formed by particles with randomly fluctuating polarizabilities. Such metasurfaces are of topical importance due to development of mass-scale bottom-up fabrication methods, for which fluctuations of the particles sizes, shapes, and/or composition are inevitable. Understanding and prediction of electromagnetic properties of such random metasurfaces is a challenge. We propose an analytical homogenization method applicable for normal wave incidence on particles arrays with dominating electric dipole responses and validate it with numerical point-dipole modeling using the supercell approach. We demonstrate that fluctuations of particles polarizabilities lead to increased diffuse scattering despite the subwavelength lattice constant of the array. The proposed method can be readily extended to oblique incidence and particles with both electric and magnetic dipole resonances. Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures |
