Polarization manipulation based on electromagnetically induced transparency-like (EIT-like) effect.

We proposed, designed and fabricated a high transparency of metasurface-based polarization controller at microwave frequencies, which consists of orthogonal two pairs of cut wires. The high transmission and the strong dispersion properties governed by electromagnetically induced transparency-like (EIT-like) effects for both incident polarizations make our device efficiently manipulating the polarization of EM waves. In particular, the proposed polarization device is ultrathin (~0.017λ), as opposed to bulky polarization devices. Microwave experiments are performed to successfully demonstrate our ideas, and measured results are in reasonable agreement with numerical simulations.
