The article describes an optical response of metastructure consisted of two optically coupled resonant subwavelength rectangular -profile diffraction gratings, between which a layer of optically transparent dielectric was placed. The features of optical resonance transmittance and reflectance for optical PT-symmetry mode was numerical investigated and some advantages of using optical PT-symmetry for resonance transmittance (reflectance) improving was demonstrated. The spectral characteristics of the metastructure change when the pumping level changes and when the system switches from the optical parity-time-symmetry mode to the broken parity-time-symmetry mode were analyzed too.
The work is devoted to the analysis of the accuracy characteristics of rotation angle sensors using angular scales from nanostructured metasurfaces. The principle of their operation is based on the dependence of the frequency response of metasurfaces on the orientation of the incident light polarization plane. The influence of the noise characteristic of angle sensors on the measurement result is considered. It is shown that for the sensors considered in the work, it might be on the order of units of arc seconds. The influence on the accuracy characteristics of misalignments of the angular scale and thermal effects that the sensor may experience during operation is analyzed. Recommendations to reduce the influence of parasitic effects and further improve the accuracy characteristics are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
