1. Optimizing and designing the nano brick unit structure.
The following description will be given taking the nano-brick unit structure as a rectangular parallelepiped. The length, width and height of the nano brick unit structure are all sub-wavelength.
The nano brick unit structure is composed of a substrate 2 and a nano brick 1 etched on the substrate, as shown in fig. 1, an xyz rectangular coordinate system is established, and the lengths of the nano brick 1 in the x direction and the y direction are L respectivelyxAnd LyThe height in the z direction is H, and the side length of the substrate in the x direction and the y direction is C.
According to the theory of equivalent refractive index, the nano-brick unit structure is equivalent to a micro waveguide, because the lengths of the nano-bricks along the x direction and the y direction are different, the equivalent refractive indexes along the two directions are different, different phase delay amounts are generated for linearly polarized light (x linearly polarized light and y linearly polarized light for short) along the x direction and the y direction respectively in the electric field direction, and independent phase modulation can be realized for two orthogonally polarized light beams, which is the basic principle for realizing the phase modulation of the nano-brick unit structure.

The nano brick unit structure can realize completely independent phase modulation on two orthogonal linearly polarized light by only selecting proper size parameters, simultaneously reflects the x linearly polarized light and transmits the y linearly polarized light to realize the transmission-reflection dual-channel multiplexing, and when linearly polarized light (45-degree linearly polarized light for short) with the included angle of 45 degrees between the electric field direction and the x axis is incident, the transmission-reflection dual channels work simultaneously.
